Men – who build nations, Forbes reports. “The world’s richest person, Jeff Bezos, is wealthier than he’s ever been. … Bezos’ net worth is up by $4.9 billion, making the 56-year-old the world’s first-ever person to amass a $200 billion fortune.”
Then, Bloomberg reports that the top 500 richest people have gained $809 billion in 2020. That is a solid 14% increase in a season when millions are unemployed with paralyses everywhere.
The vices of technology – massive dislocation through the efficiency in the utilization of factors of production. With labour now plug and play (hello remote work, unbounded by geography), all power to the gods of money!
