If money is supposed to be a rough tool for measuring aggregate wealth in society, i would expect a shutdown to cause valuations and GDP to go down. If it's meant to be a tool for control and manipule society, then yes it's a marvel that an entire shutdown resulted in asset valuations to grow by around 30% in 2021. Trying to control the economy by manipulating money supply is like trying to control climate change by manipulating thermometers
