- lambdaone 1y agoFascinating work. I'm in the process of reading David Graeber's The Dawn of Everything, so this is timely for me.
- m463 1y agoI read debt: the first 5000 years and found it fascinating. Personally I think wealth inequality has changed because now wealth is portable. 2000 years ago, someone with wealth like musk would have had to collect, transport and guard a mountain of gold bullion. nowadays it's just number goes up in a bank computer.
- kelseyfrog 1y agoWell yes, but telling people that it is inevitable and having them believe it comes from political economy not reality.
