At some point I was also watching Christiane Amanpour’s show in CNN. She was interviewing Mariana Mazzucato, a professor of Economics and Innovation at University College, London. Mazzucato explained what was a K-shape economic recovery: it means that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. More or less that; I suspect that the matter might be a little bit more complicated. A simple explanation however, is more than satisfying at this point in time when some many pundits keep on punditing without really helping the general public understand what are they punditing about. But Prof. Mazzucato didn’t mention what happens to the middle class under this kind of recovery. I was disappointed; other than the short explanation above, she seemed to speak a long time in general terms and not going beyond the surface on anything that she said. The good news is that she wrote a book, The Value of Everything; I don’t think it is about K-shape recovery but maybe it does mention the middle class? I’ve been hoping for somebody to finally explain clearly where does all the money goes and where did it come from in the first place. No explanation that I have heard or read so far is satisfactory. Don’t mistake me, I know where small or even moderate amounts of money come from—the ATM, duh (!) What I don’t really understand is the origin and migration habits of billions and trillions of dollars. One would think that such scandalously huge amounts of money would shake the ground as they move; they happen to be unexplainably secretive, at least for the likes of me.
