Sick of fake news like this. If this is cash held, then it's a news story. But if these are company valuations then holding this in the hands of few is not making the economy worse.

Yes, I'm sure that once all of the wealth is held by a tiny fraction of the elites, they will successfully centrally plan the whole economy for maximum efficiency.
