The White House has indicated a shift in focus away from the stock market as the primary indicator of economic health. This move represents a departure from traditional views that prioritize the stock market and GDP as key measures of prosperity.
Abigail Ball, executive director of American Compass, commented on this development to RealClearPolitics. She stated, "This is a meaningful rhetorical shift from many decades of seeing the stock market and GDP as the sole measures of our nation’s economic prosperity." Ball further noted that while a complete disregard for the market is unlikely, it is significant that there is now less emphasis on Wall Street in favor of considering American families and workers.
This change suggests an evolving perspective within political circles about what constitutes economic success and how it should be measured.
