How much money would each person have if it was split equally?
In 2018, U.S. households held over $113 trillion in assets. For context, that is over five times as much as all the goods and services produced in the U.S. economy in a single year. If that amount were divided evenly across the U.S. population of 329 million, it would result in over $343,000 for each person.
What would happen if all consumers had unlimited amounts of money to spend?
With an infinite and equal money supply, people wouldn’t be working nearly as hard, having less of an incentive to render services or produce as many goods as possible. No work would be done, and this would lead to other deficits, including no rendering of high-quality services. No production of goods for consumption.
