Shutting down to save money isn’t hoarding wealth, it’s trying to save a business FFS. Paying employees for 4 weeks of doing nothing and bankrupting the business over it is much worse in the long term.

I think you're crossing separate points. Ordinary people are doing worse than a 3 percent drop, so this "world economy" is about something very different from how ordinary people are doing, and this is a problem.

Getting laid off isn't wealth hoarding, but does that mean there isn't wealth hoarding?
