#FollowTheMoney 🧵95/n It seems to me like #PrivateEquity is nothing but an additional “creaming off”, rentier layer and therefore structurally completely inefficient. Feels like there are more and more signs of this - eg this aside in a piece on supermarkets i just happened to read. I wonder whether we have reached peak private equity - maybe it will all collapse soon. However, not at all an expert! https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/may/27/lidl-overtakes-morrisons-to-become-fifth-largest-supermarket-in-uk?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

#FollowTheMoney 🧵96/n I urge you all to watch this #GaryEconomics episode on Bond Markets. It explains how UK and other governments have sold off “all the family silver”, and because they own nothing, they operate on debt, they have no power. Also: high government debt IS inequality. https://youtu.be/vamgbxM-fec?is=hbf1_-3LHYC5rPGJ
