There are many people that are conscious of their spending but there are also many that take advantage of that to get rich. You can't tell someone they have to be mindful of others, it has to come from within. As long as there are people that exploit others to get ahead we'll never reach a true balance. Think about it like this: If I own a fishing farm and earn a profit of $1000 a month but have to pay $200 for a filter that keeps the water clean, I have net profit $800. If everyone did the same we would all be profitable enough. But, there is always that guy that decides to remove the filter so he earns the full $1000, while polluting the water and eventually reducing profits for everyone. Nobody wins, but the greedy person sure made a lot of money while it lasted. That's basically the mentality that we need to get away from and I'm not optimistic that's possible.

Our world only works "at the end of a gun" as you put it. We're not currently in absolute chaos due to the monopoly of violence the state holds. Just to get the formalities out of the way. You're absolutely framing the problem wrong. As if money is a solid thing, and that once you have it it won't go anywhere, like so many cans of food in your pantry. But money flows, and it is constantly flowing. The economy as a whole expands and contracts like the tide coming in and out. Instead of forcing money out of someone's hands, adjust how the market works so that money flows more equally, and eventually the system finds a new equilibrium. Now I don't know how to tune the market for these results. It's a very complex task. But it's not impossible, so we should at least allow reasonable discussion.

Funny how she fails entirely to address the fact that she's purely talking about the American economy and society, while addressing the concept of money (which precedes the American society by about 5000 years) as if it follows the exact same path. She laughs at the idea that Americans act as if there was nothing in North America before the USA, but merrily continues a discussion which is entirely US-centric. And to address that more particularly: the Dutch, who really opened up the entire world for trade purposes and created the first stock market to support this globalist endeavour, never thought that "whomever dies with the most toys wins" - that was entirely anti-Christian and went against the ruling ethos of the day, as defined by Calvinism: you weren't just not allowed to show off your wealth, you weren't to benefit from it too greatly! Her version of capitalism is really a result of American post-industrial development, which really took hold after the Second World War. This has nothing to do with "money" as such - it has to do with glorified greed, under a thin veil of capitalism and American exceptionalism as a force for good in the world.

And then they convinced people the rich shouldn't pay higher taxes, furthering their ability to hoard profits. Thank God millennials have seen through their ruse.

Some consumers are choosing to buy products that are best for environment, but they are a small inconsequential group. The drive for more (whatever that means) is a sickenss.

Incorrect framing of the actual problem. She doesnt understand the "roadmap" or history. She doesnt understand. Human ingenuity is unlimited. Automobiles, not a thing 150 years ago. Computers, 40 years ago... AI... space travel... with freedom and markets for ideas and resources... the possibilities are endless (I mean... cavemen would have thought what we have todaybis impossible... that we had broken the laws of the universe to generate the bounty we have today. There is so much more wrong here, but Ill cut to this: 1) Markets allow the most productive / efficient folks to gain and manage more resources (her concept of enough takes resources away from those that would be better able to manage it). 2) Generally speaking humans innately want more resources. It is an innate driver. Generally, speaking, Women want men with resources so their offspring are taken care of - men want more resources to attract better mating partners. 3) Nothing wrong with assessing your own spending etc (what YOU think is enough will be different than others)... that means youre managing your limited resources better.

You don't need to consume more of the earth to keep expanding the value in an economy. The value in an economy doesn't come from matter, it comes from work efficiency. If I make an innovation where I can grow two apples with same same amount of inputs as one apple, I have decreased the cost of apples by half, for foe example, a person only has to work half as much time for one apple. People increased consumption for many reasons, one of them has been an ideology of materialism, true. An ideology that has born little fruit in happiness or wellbeing, more it was a symptom of trauma and fear. However, the gross consumption has mostly increased due to increases in population. Individual impact hasn't changed much. It seems like it, because we've changed so much, but we cut out a city and use that square footage for decades of different people. I agree there is a loss of meaning and fulfillment, I think largely due to the nihilism of not having to struggle to live. However, most people would agree that it's better their children are well fed and not dying of malaria, that is directly due to a large economy that made products and services cheap enough for the average person to afford with their labor. Maybe I'm misreading some sentiments here, but I feel compelled to insist that capitalism and materialism are not the same things, at all. Capitalism is the free exchange of value, that's it, full stop.

Enough money is the amount needed to experience the world in its entirety. Is that obtainable for all people? No.

Great, spending advice with a green spin 🙄 Humans can develop and improve resource production and utilization so that resources available become nearly unlimited. When whale oil was used for lighting we hunted whales to near extinction, then we discovered/developed an alternate resource to replace the whale oil.

This wandered all over the place, both in its delivery and underlying explanation. I have absolutely no idea what the point of this talk is. It was just chuckling sentences for 6 minutes.

The title should read 'How much stuff is enough?'. Money doesn't always equal 'material goods'. They're not the same thing. I agree that mansions, Lambos, boats, planes, jewelry, etc won't necessarily make you happy (I personally think they'd be more of a burden), but money by itself is different. Having a lot of money will at least make you feel better having it than not, unlike 'stuff' which is usually a temporary good feeling. Sorry, but I'm convinced that the rich people who kill themselves would've killed themselves sooner if they didn't have money. Which actor said it? "I've been rich and I've been poor. Believe me, rich is better".

Colossus Forbin Yes, money /= commodities, even though the two concepts are intertwined to the point of near-identity; but that's not her point. Her point is that the world's resources are finite, therefore our economic systems (up to the individual level) should be based on that
