        One of the best pieces I've read. How much time and revisions it takes you to write your articles (on average)?

        On average maybe a week, but this one took 2 months to write, partly because I had to do so much research.

        Looks like it. I like the depth and breadth of knowledge in this one.

        My reason for this: land. It’s unavoidable compared to rent extraction via patents, monopolistic control of discretionary goods, etc

        I know it’s not an exhaustive study but still seems unbalanced, esp considering zero sum rent seeking is at least as big a factor.

        You mention 2 paths to individual wealth: wealth creation & zero sum. Curious why there’s no further discussion of zero-sum later on.

        There’s an inconsistency I’d like to ask you about if you don’t mind…

        .@paulg Very interesting take on the forces shaping today’s fragmentation. Effective big picture approach WW2 & Duplo economy.

        I enjoyed this very much, but wonder why the notion of public service is not mentioned? A retarding force? A US/UK difference?

        one big error in your thinking though: humans are conformist by nature

        interesting, but I found myself asking why no mention of the other (still more conformist) Western economies.
