Original Report

Financial literacy just hit a 10-year low — and it is devastating bank accounts.

Glass House Analysis

This development in the banking sector reflects broader tensions between regulatory pressure and financial industry practices. The banking system serves as the circulatory system of the economy; any disruption ripples through to small businesses, homebuyers, and everyday consumers who depend on credit access.

The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
