The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's "all good". Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations.

But here is where it gets interesting:
Retail is also a major beneficiary, per the above article:
Small cap stocks:
Transports...
That's the good news.
The bad news is that Emerging Markets don't care about Trump's tax cuts...
And of course the money is flowing out of Momentum/Tech into the dead-ends listed above...
Doh!
