RE: Now Just Five Men Own Almost as Much Wealth as Half the World’s Population

in #economy7 years ago

I suspect a great deal of that is because the schools are not teaching us how to create wealth on our own, but instead how to depend upon existing systems. Even if we overcome those boundaries, the state may require licenses, regulations, inspectors, and insurance that pushes the costs and expertise above what many ordinary folks can enter into-let alone be able to afford to market their products or skills. So it just becomes easier to depend upon existing systems.
As far as the wealthy, they are not wealthy because they are like a charity else they would be broke. What they do is they invest in other companies expecting to make a profit. Assuming that the rate of return is constant (it rarely ever is) and compounding, it growth can easily be modeled through the ordinary geometric series.
