Economic experts are sounding the alarm: if the most important product of the world’s most important company fails, it could trigger a major economic meltdown.

Amazon Studio's $1 billion Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power bet is universally praised by critics as a sprawling ode to diversity. Yet BusinessInsider reports that the TV series that could determine the future of streaming is "falling flat with initial audiences, posing risks for Amazon and the company's Prime membership program."And now economic experts are sounding the alarm.

The argument goes that if the most important product of the world's most important company fails, in this current climate that could be the trigger for a major economic meltdown with far reaching consequences.
