The U.S. Stock Market Towers Over the Others. But At What Cost?

FYI: Much of the world has recovered from the global financial crisis of a decade ago, but one market has prospered above virtually all others: the United States stock market.

In addition to outpacing other major markets, the American market has outstripped the growth of the United States economy to such an extent that it is a global outlier. Whether the surge — which has helped fuel economic inequality in the United States — can continue, and what the domestic and global consequences might be, are unresolved questions.
