I’m Andres Acevedo, and this is The Market Exit. In this essay, I talk about one of the biggest, yet strangely overlooked, problems in modern life: the way we organize work.Today, most of us spend our lives in non-democratic companies, taking orders from managers we did not choose, while external owners reap the profits of our labor. It’s easy to believe this is just how work has always been and how it must be—but that is not true.In this video, I dive into how our current system came to be, why it was criticized from the very beginning, and what a better alternative could look like. I explore the idea of economic democracy and employee ownership—solutions that could make work less miserable, strengthen democracy, reduce inequality, and even make companies perform better.I also reflect on why this transformation hasn’t happened yet, and what each of us can do today to move toward a more democratic economy.
Grant Cardone (entrepreneur, real estate investor, and CEO, Cardone Capital) joins Chris Cuomo to challenge conventional thinking about money, success, and opportunity in America. Cardone lays out why he believes most people are financially trapped by design, how traditional education fails to prepare people for wealth, and why owning assets — including crypto — is the only path to real freedom. He and Cuomo debate the realities of the housing market, the impact of remote work, and whether the system is built to keep people down or lift them up.
While everybody and their chainsaw is fixated on US federal debt, there is another type of debt that has grown just as fast, and is most likely a bigger problem… Business debt is now at all time highs and is approaching 14 TRILLION dollars in America alone. Unlike the government, private businesses don’t have the luxury of printing their own money in an emergency, and as interest rates have risen they are starting to feel the squeeze. To make matters worse most of this money hasn’t been used to make productive investments, it’s been used for “financial engineering” to make investors happy… in the short term. This trend is the result of a business strategy that can explain the stagnation of companies like boeing, intel and general electric, it’s largely responsible for increasingly unstable stock markets AND it’s also making that other debt situation much worse. Now the best part is that this has been tried many times before and people KNOW that it’s not sustainable… but that’s a problem for next quarter…
Hi. We've been told that 2025 is the year that remote working will die, despite it often being good for workers and their employers. CEOs hate it though, and they're working to get rid of it.
