Paradoxes of the pandemic: someone counts the dead, and someone - super-profits

The journalist Pavel Pryanikov cites in his publication on the financial aspects of the pandemic an extremely interesting graph, from which it follows that the value of world shares is approaching $ 110 trillion.

“Did you personally have a crisis? For the stock markets, on the contrary, the time of the Covid crisis was the best.
