The method

Every video. Every article. The same shape.

CAUSE
A central bank cuts interest rates to keep the economy moving.
MECHANISM
Borrowing gets cheaper, so money floods toward assets — stocks, property, credit.
CONSEQUENCE
Asset prices climb faster than wages. If you own assets, you pull ahead. If you rent, you fall behind.
