I was 35. A smug Wall Street analyst,\" and saying he waved off the concerns of American workers. In his telling, the problem wasn't a single bad bet but an era of overconfidence that treated cheaper capital and lower costs as \"inevitable progress,\" without preparing for the social and political backlash that followed.\nHe closed the post with a warning he framed as a lesson for the present, \"Success breeds overconfidence. Overconfidence breeds structural mistakes. And when the bill comes due, it's cultural, economic, and political all at once. The first step in fixing it is admitting we misread the moment.\"\nScaramucci tied the argument to launch his forthcoming book, All the Wrong Moves, which he says traces how major bipartisan decisions over decades dismantled parts of the American dream and widened mistrust and division.\nPhoto courtesy: Al Teich / Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2614935240","isCrawlerRequest":true}
