2026 Wall Street: 1% holds 40% / your savings — quiet real reason

800 million people don’t fit the textbook.

After 1978, China pulled off one of the fastest economic transformations in modern history—mass poverty to industrial scale, export dominance, and cities that rewired global supply chains. And it did it by fusing market prices with state direction, private ambition with party control. So the real question isn’t “did capitalism win?” or “did socialism fail?”

The uncomfortable question is: what are capitalism and socialism actually describing—a moral identity, or a decision system?

In this video, we break the debate down to its hidden core: who gets to decide what gets built, who pays for uncertainty, and who captures the upside. We follow the architecture behind everything from innovation and inequality to healthcare, monopoly power, and why every “successful” modern economy is already a hybrid—whether it admits it or not.

If you’ve ever felt like the labels are too simple for the real world, this is the lens.

Watch until the end for the final mechanism most debates avoid: the cost of changing the boundary.

What you’ll learn

Why the real fight is about decisions, not “money”

How prices act as an information system (and where they fail)

Why planning can mobilize fast—but struggles with feedback

The innovation paradox: public risk, private profit

How inequality is really bargaining power and options

Why “pure” capitalism and “pure” socialism both become fragile

How China, the Nordics, Chile, and the Soviet system expose the same underlying machine

Why the most important changes arrive as “boring” parameters: tax code lines, procurement rules, enforcement budgets.
