About this episode

The episode discusses the paradox of wealthy consumers spending significantly despite financial market instability.

Even as geopolitical tensions roil financial markets, wealthy consumers are defying the gloom — private jet demand is surging at events like Monaco and Cannes, and Broadway just recorded a record 1.9 billion dollar season. This divergence between financial anxiety and high-end consumer spending raises important questions about where the real economy actually stands.
