There is a growing perspective that the American financial system, especially Wall Street, operates much like a classic Ponzi scheme. Unlike the traditional view of stocks as real ownership in companies, most of today’s market activity centers around buying and selling shares with the hope of offloading them at a higher price to someone else—rarely ever because investors expect meaningful dividends or company profit-sharing. The very definition of a Ponzi relies on this endless chain of new buyers propping up the market, and when the system falters, the instability becomes apparent, as witnessed during financial crashes. This system is reinforced by political and media structures that protect the interests of a select few, while the broader public is left in the dark about the true nature of the game. To fully appreciate the depth of this argument and hear firsthand accounts from those censored for exposing it, dive into the episodes for the whole story.
