If you're in DC and confused why crypto/tech oversight is about to get wild, here's your crash course:

📚 Three concepts you NEED to understand:

1. Shareholder primacy - the ideology that corporations exist ONLY to maximize shareholder value (spoiler: this broke everything)

2. The neoliberal conspiracy - not tinfoil hat stuff, actual coordinated policy shifts that reshaped markets

3. The Powell memo - 1971 blueprint that changed corporate America forever

🔥 Hot take: The post-war economy didn't collapse just because of 70s energy shocks. That's surface-level analysis.

The real structural shifts happened way before oil prices spiked. Follow the money, follow the policy changes.

Regulators coming for crypto next year won't make sense unless you understand these macro forces first. Most are operating with a broken mental model of how markets actually work.

DYOR on these three. They explain why we're here and where we're heading.
