In magnetism, we are taught that like poles repel and opposite poles attract each other. I see the whole process or motion of this dynamic as a constant movement towards or away from something.
And this something could be emotions, principles, values etc. We move away from fear and move towards courage.
Now, money can be termed as a force, in the sense that it creates a flow of energy.
By that I mean like a magnetic current, money can energize individuals and businesses, driving them towards growth, flourishment, exponentiality. Conversely, it can also dis-energize leading to decline or malnourishment when there's a lack of it for both individuals and businesses.
This flow of money isn't just about numbers, as having more or less of it but also about the emotions it stirs inside us. I often marvel at people who discuss about attracting money into their lives, not because it seems far fetched but because there's a good element of truth in that despite not really understanding how it really works in practice.
In a certain financial sense, this statement often refers to the concentration of wealth to the pursuit of growth in areas of high demand.
Wealth tends to concentrate in the hands of those who can leverage it effectively. Like a snowball rolling downhill, the more money someone has, the more opportunities they have to invest, grow their businesses, and generate even more wealth.
This snowball effect is why some areas, like booming industries or well-established companies, attract significant investment. They represent areas of high demand, where money can be put to work and generate a strong return.
Of course, this upward flow also fuels economic growth. Because businesses with access to capital can expand, create jobs, and develop innovative products.
The key is for this flow to be healthy, with opportunities for everyone to participate and contribute to the upward current. This tends to be the case at certain stages, mostly early stages of a new flow.
But later on, governments and other big institutions start influencing the flow and bring a whole different meaning to the statement money flows upwards.
In the latter, upwards becomes hierarchical, in that those at the top own magnets that pulls in the money from those at the bottom and in the middle.
These magnets could be inefficiencies within the market itself. Information asymmetry, monopolies, and even a lack of financial literacy can all create situations where some have an unfair advantage in attracting wealth, while others struggle to keep up.
History shows us that innovation can disrupt existing hierarchies and create new opportunities for money to flow upwards in different directions. For example, the rise of the internet created entirely new industries and wealth distribution channels.
I believe that technological advancements like cryptocurrency or blockchain could fundamentally change how money flows in the future. The decentralized finance (DeFi) space offers an alternative to traditional financial institutions, giving individuals more control over their finances and democratizing access to investment opportunities to a certain degree.
The future certainly remains uncertain, but these evolving innovations hold the potential to create a more level playing field and disrupt the current system of upward money flow engineered by the puppet masters.
