S&P 500 companies bought back $181B of their shares in Q1 to pump up their value.

Buybacks are projected to reach $925B this year.

In 2025, they’re estimated to hit over $1 TRILLION.

Why is this driving inequality?

It's simple: the top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

@rbreich You should do a deeper analysis (so we all benefit from your expertise) on how many of these buybacks are driven by institutional investors - which are the IMHO driving the growing inequality fast...
