You didn't take another very important unit into account: time and risk. Let's say you want to sell your used iPhone. You might get $150, if you wait around for the right buyer, but this might take a while and even after waiting i

China has no free press and is not really transparant with their numbers, so we can't use them as an example. Here is what happens when someone tries to reveal to real situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U1VYck6

But what if I want to build a home next to a meatpacking plant? The Japanese zoning system designates nuisance levels to land. The lowest level only allows residential and the highest allows industrial. The general principal is that you are

What reasonable assumptions? I'm not saying you are wrong, but the energy problem is a quantitive problem. There are many energy sources that are great in certain circumstances and certain regions, but do things actually add up when we

We have to define what success is. Not all become millionaires, but most have build a good life for themselves in the upper middle class.
