The article discusses how older investors, particularly in America, are driving the surging stock market, which may have implications for market stability. While investing in equities can be sensible for individuals, it could also exacerbate a potential market crash.

The article discusses how recessions have become increasingly rare in modern economies, particularly in rich countries. Historically, economies like England and Britain experienced frequent recessions, but as capitalism matured and policymaking improved, the frequency of recessions decreased. Today, recessions are considered an 'endangered species.' The article suggests that this prolonged period of continuous growth may lead to complacency and inefficiency in economies, making them 'fat and slow.' The author argues that the rarity of recessions could be storing up trouble for the future.
