I thought this was going to be about our short-sighted vision about the future.

  That isn't an epidemic, that have been with us from the beginning of time.

    I'll admit it's always been here and that it's incredibly hard to measure in any case. But still feel that shortsightedness has increased in the last twenty or thirty years. The housing bubble is closest I can come to concrete verification of this but that's a long way, I'll admit. It would be nice if someone could do a study akin to Bowling Alone, to study shortsightedness instead of social isolation.

      At least you can do something useful with a house, even when its value drops 50%. The 17th century Dutch imploded their economy with tulips.
