Lessons Modern Capitalists Have Forgotten
Why It Is An Extreme Problem For Them
I have been reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari lately.
It is a very interesting take on the History of Humankind from as early as we have records until the book was written in 2015.
I can’t say that I agree with every aspect of Harari’s Beliefs, and his Bias is very apparent in the way he writes, but that Bias does Provide some Fascinating Perspectives on History.
Overall, it has been an enjoyable read that is making me consider many aspects of History in new ways.
At the moment, I am in the middle of the section on Capitalism and what allowed it to rise to Prominence around the Globe.
As I’ve been reading through it, I have been thinking about the Challenges we are seeing in the world today and I noticed something.
There are some Lessons that allowed Capitalism to Rise which seem to be Lost on today’s Capitalists.
If Capitalists Today do not “Re-Learn” these Lessons, I Fear it will have Catastrophic Consequences.
What are those Lessons?
Well, the first comes to us from Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations”.
