- buellerbueller 8mo agoYour example is zero sum; there is no collective benefit. Investment in roads enable commerce. Investments in education enable future technology.
- charcircuit 8mo agoWhat if you were keeping the $1000 in a bank account and I will invest $900 into a scholarship to pay for someone's education. You can invest $0.90 into roads. Now the example has a collective benefit for both of us.
