So yes, its worth thinking about how our economy is organised.
But the thing that is going to kneecap the US economy in the short terms are one of the following:
o Tariffs
o Cutting government spending (especially welfare)
o a steep rise in unemployment caused by government firing of civil servants
o fucking with the structure of the monetary system
o AI eliminating whole classes of jobs (taxi driving, phone centers, clerical work, etc etc)
