Overview

Who Really Runs the Economy: Governments, Corporations, Banks, or You? We've all felt it-the frustration of working harder but getting less, of watching prices rise while wages stagnate, of seeing wealth concentrate in the hands of a few while the majority struggles to get by. But why does this happen? Who is actually steering the economic ship, and how much control do you really have over your own financial destiny? In Who Really Runs the Economy, readers are taken behind the scenes of the modern economic system, exposing the hidden levers of power that shape markets, labor, money, and opportunity. From central banks quietly controlling inflation, to corporations consolidating power, to globalized finance transforming everyday goods into speculative assets, this book reveals how the economy is not an inevitable force of nature-but a carefully constructed system influenced by choices, incentives, and control. Through clear, engaging analysis, the book examines the roles of governments, banks, corporations, and even individuals, separating myth from reality and showing how structural forces limit, enable, or amplify agency. It explores everything from debt, financialization, and taxation to globalization, labor power, and the myths of personal responsibility-ultimately asking a bold question: can the economy be democratized, and what role can you play in shaping it? Neither purely theoretical nor simplistic, this book blends history, policy, and practical insight to give readers a sober but empowering understanding of where economic control truly lies-and what it would take to change it. Whether you're a student, worker, entrepreneur, or concerned citizen, Who Really Runs the Economy equips you with the knowledge to navigate, resist, and influence the forces that shape your financial life and society as a whole.
