The game wasn't designed for you and me. It was designed for the ones that can take advantage of it with massive amounts of cash, connections, and staff to exploit it for them. Bet on the companies to figure it out for themselves and just stick to index funds over the long haul. That way at least you're not playing a game that was designed to take your money.

this is good advice but also ordinary people should be able to understand why the economy is breaking. most economists treat it as a mystical thing only they can divine the meaning of, so it can be pretty hard to find clearly written stuff for lay people.
