If this wasn’t the case then why has private equity - btw one of the primary drivers of the American tech sector - projected to double in size every 2 years?

Whilst SMEs may account for 40% of economic growth the entire infrastructure of finance relies heavily on vested institutions to actually achieve that growth.

No.

The fundamental economic issues of society are underpinned by legacy control of wealth & equity.

There’s this idea that somehow left wing people are afraid of the truth coming out and I sincerely believe that in fact everyone just wants to rip the core out of the immorality that is debasing western culture now & start again irrespective of politics
