doomed to destruction, shut in a cage of pain.
Yes, I agree it's not genuine growth, it is an asset bubble etc etc, doesn't help much though when you look at poor returns at the end of a year and realise that the

by those who rode the indices (perhaps in blissful
ignorance) to huge profits while other saps spend time arguing about getting the economics dead right, and end up on the moral high ground but no returns to show for it.
