Thoughtful Money with Adam Taggart · Sunday, August 30, 2026
Adam Taggart argues that government policies over the past few decades have disproportionately benefited asset owners, leading to increased wealth disparity. He explains that those without financial assets only experience rising costs, while asset owners benefit from rising asset prices, widening the gap between the rich and the less rich.
“Objectively, most of the policies that are our government has pursued over the past couple decades have rewarded people who own assets.”
“So the people who don't have financial assets, the regular people out there, all they get is the increase in their costs.”
“So the rich kind of move further and further away from the less rich.”
