From taking a look at the author’s title on the site, the person who wrote this, Mihir Desai, is an economics professor at Harvard University.
I wonder if he has any updated thoughts on this subject matter. Does anyone know of any more recent links to articles or writings he’s made?
- edaemon 8y agoHe did write "Why Apple Is the Future of Capitalism" in August 2018, which seems pretty relevant: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/06/opinion/apple-trillion-market-cap.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/06/opinion/apple-trillion-ma... Here's his list of publications: http://www.mihirdesai.org/publications-and-media/ http://www.mihirdesai.org/publications-and-media/

- coldtea 8y agoThe future of capitalism includes tons of stock crashes anyway... And I don't think his argument was "Apple is infallible", but "Apple's model will prevail (or is good) for the future of capitalism". Not that Apple or any company following the model is guaranteed to always have increased stock value forever.
