Guy's Take_100 - You Already Own Nothing, Are You Happy?

What if everything you think you own in the financial system—your stocks, your retirement, your savings—could be taken away in an instant, not because of your own mistakes, but because the institutions holding them are “too important” to fail? Today we finally unpack the horrifying reality behind asset ownership in today’s fiat-driven world, laid out in the shocking work from David Rogers Webb, The Great Taking. Are we living through the final act of centralization, where the only real escape is opting out entirely?

You already own nothing, are you happy? It's time for a Guy's Take episode.
