Just to clarify, this is the total net worth of all citizens of a country. American citizens own one third of all wealth in the world and the top 1% of Americans own 40% of all US wealth.

[@jerryj5606]

It's worse than that, The bottom 50 percent of U.S. residents only held 2 percent of all of U.S. wealth, 150 million people that is.

[@GeronimoPlaz]

Income inequality does not equal suffering or more poor people. People really need to stop acting like that. What's the average citizen's buying power and how many people live in poverty? Those are the measures that matter. One man owned 2% of the American economy in the early 20th century. It's nothing new. I'm more concerned about freaks like Bill Gates being able to spend billions on media/political influence than I'm worried about how he affects the economy.

Truth. Printing causes devaluation worldwide.

[@FlyByWire1]

That’s not at all how this works. Currency makes up an astronomically small proportion of wealth in any economy. In addition, expanding the money supply doesn’t make the assets you ALREADY own worth more. Your comment defeated your entire argument bc of simple logic. If you expand the money supply and your currency is worth less (as you suggested), why would that make asset values (wealth) increase? Please go read a monetary economics book.

[@FlyByWire1]

@@alethiapotter9218 I can tell you’re one of those people who actually thinks expanding the money supply means printing physical bills and boxes of cash. HAHAHAHAHAHA the fact that you don’t even see the fallacy in your own argument is truly concerning. If said currency was devaluing from “money printing,” then how would assets valued in that currency be increasing? See how that makes no logical sense at all.

Why Total Wealth ? GDP or GNP is a standard value of a country.

[@jerryj5606]

When the US is printing trillions of dollars does that count towards their wealth?

[@FlyByWire1]

@First name Last name except this is all private wealth, not public wealth. In addition, “unfunded liabilities” aren’t a drastic concern because the liabilities can be funded in the future. That’s why they’re not considered in net wealth stats because they are not CURRENT liabilities. If a pension fund, for example, has liabilities of $10 billion and assets of $9 billion (meaning they have $1 billion in unfunded liabilities), that doesn’t mean the fund is in danger of collapsing. It just means that the fund has a deficit to make up. Almost all liabilities are never due so at the same time so it’s not a major concern. The fund for example will never (literally ever) have to pay out all of its liabilities at one time so having unfunded liabilities isn’t a crazy, major issue.

[@FlyByWire1]

@First name Last name I read Dalio’s book earlier this year and I did enjoy it, but his research and his book is focused primarily on consumer big debt crises, which is not the type of debt this original comment or this video is even concerning. I think a lot of people tend to forget that private debt is not public debt and public debt is not private debt. They operate entirely differently from one another and this critical distinction is why they’re usually studied separately.

[@FlyByWire1]

@First name Last name but yes, I do agree debt can in fact become untenable, but the US isn’t anywhere near that stage at all. And the US is perhaps the best country positioned to respond to any situation like that because of its massive privately held wealth. If the federal government wanted to close the deficit tomorrow, they 100% could. They could raise an additional trillion dollars in federal receipts annually if they wanted to, but they choose the path of deficit spending which provides a solid boost the economy.

[@FlyByWire1]

@First name Last name I’ve read quite a bit of Friedman during my Economics Masters program 😂😂😂😂 It’s alright to be ignorant, you don’t know any better. The ignorant ones always try to defend their argument with the conspiracy foolishness. “pUpPeT” LMAO is the earth flat too? 💀

[@FlyByWire1]

@First name Last name and I’m not off on anything. You’re just uneducated about the subject. The reason Treasury debt is considered “risk free” is precisely BECAUSE the government can raise taxes on a whim. It has the power and authority to do so regardless of what you think. Taxes are also not optional. That’s the difference in public and private debt. The US has an incredibly large wealth pool to pull revenue from if they so choose to do so and there’s nothing you could do about it but shut up and pay.

[@goldmaple5290]

It's incredible how China has superseded so many nations to claim 2nd spot and is yet not part of the G7 nations, the 7th richest nations in the world. India is in 5th position and is not part of the G7. Are you sure this total wealth statistics are correct ? I heard China had superseded the US in GNP.

[@dinhtran-ld4hz]

how much you make in one year or the total value of your life. Total Wealth is the better way most people judge a country wealth. GDP just show in and out but not much more details on money. For example Apple (made up) profits 20 billions 2022, the value of Apple is 2 trillions, US also profits from the fact that Apple IP is from US. While china mostly make 60% of the money from building Apple products lets say 20 billions. Different is Apple can go to Vietnam, India etc which is why US $1.00 is > China $1.00 US made close to 150billions dollars from just this passion income
