> My personal opinion is: gaining wealth is not a zero-sum-game, but a — the more participants the bigger the pie gets — kind of game. I truly believe, if cultures and institutions change, everyone in the world can be wealthy. With "wealthy" I refer to the living-standard North-American or Europeans enjoy. I'm less convinced. A lot of the improvement to living standards in the west for the past 50 years or so have been a result of shifting labor to countries with lower standards of living. That being said living standards in post-war US is not a bad target and I don't see a physics problem with attaining that. |
