Love this guy’s work
I love that this guy decided that GitHub is the place to share his socio-economic essay. Next to a guy who used it for his sourdough guides my favourite use of GitHub yet.
Very persuasive to people ignorant enough to think wealth grows linearly, yes.
If every dollar I made went under a mattress instead of saved/invested, my net worth also would be a small fraction of what it actually is today.
