Article commentary
McKinsey’s data underscores a troubling disconnect between financial markets and real economic fundamentals. The dominance of equity-driven wealth, particularly in the U.S., creates vulnerability to a sharp correction if AI monetization fails to meet expectations. Meanwhile, China’s debt-fueled growth mirrors familiar risks of overleverage. The report’s scenarios—productivity, inflation, or correction—offer no easy path. Policymakers and investors should watch for signs of imbalance, as the current paper wealth economy may be more fragile than it appears.
