For some time, we’ve been warning that rising interest rates would have catastrophic consequences for many profitless ‘prosperity companies’ (companies with no profit, and no prospect of making any). In particular, we’ve written that funding for these firms would dry up, leading to cuts in jobs and research and development (R&D), and that some firms would go under.
