@failedLyndonLaRouchite somethig like that for the pandemic.

a 60% increase in the degree to which access to output is enclosed in the form of lopsidedly distributed claims on future streams of output is a very big deal, i'd argue. all else equal, in theory population aging should reduce these sorts of claims, as in theory older people decumulate. most older people have few financial assets and in practice those who do don't much decumulate, again putting inequality at the center of the story.
