Your books obviously rock, P4A is brilliant, and vlogbrothers is just... just.... how do you even describe it? Rainicorn (new adjective that means resembling a rainbow and unicorn). OKAY back to my point. I just wanted to tell you that I stopped thinking that learning could be cool in third grade, when we started learning only to take these idiotic tests. But as soon as I started watching crash course, I knew that I wanted to help other people develop a love for learning, just as you've done for me. Thank you John Green, thank you

Thindorama I have, and it fundamentally ignores a major facet that capitalism is often tied to the federal gov, usually collusion is required to see a notable growth in GDP. Rand presumes that a sufficiently smart business man can succeed without any help and that welfare is fundamentally immoral because it promotes weakness. There are a lot of flaws with Rand (even libertarian economists generally think Rand goes too far). Seriously the fact that Rand went on social security (which she often derided as one of the greatest evils the government can impose) when she was diagnosed with cancer is proof even she couldn't live up to her own beliefs. Let's be clear, Libertarian policies have a few good arguments (although i personally disagree with them, i think they presume that businesses are more inherently good then they are in reality) and libertarian economists like Nozick have good points. But Rand was insane.

I think the biggest take away from Ayn Rand is that the USA population should not roll over to a big oppressive government that veers from the constitution in any matter, no matter what law or party. And yes Government was essential for industry, but that means they also can destroy it. The only real constitutional way today government can regulate the free market is one, interstate Commerce Claus winch is still debated if it is, but if we read the constitution by the letter it is legal, and two, to make all men equal and protect all men under the law in the way of the unions. But for example the FDA and the EPA are not on that list. The regulate not to keep people equal or each state equal, but to regulate what a company can or cannot do which is unconstitutional. The free market is good at regulating it's self in the way of popular opinion and choice and governmental regulation is killing this country. A common example of this is Obama care or the Affordable Care Act. This Piece of Domestic regulation requires that if any one person that works more than 30 hours a week than they legally have to have health care and if they work less than 30 hours they have to either pay for there own or pay a fine. First this is creating so many more part time jobs were people don't get paid as much witch leads to the minimum wage moment. And two it creates a situation for lot's of Americans were they can't pay for the care they need so they don't by is but then there is a fine. I laid out lot's of problems her and one KZitem comment would not be enough to solve them but deregulation is the only way to come to a situation.

The way I've tried to look at it from my own experience and perspective is fairly simple. Right now, I'm 23, and I'm poor. Is this someone else's fault? No. Is it my fault? Sort of. It's not really a fault but a lack of time for now. But I accept that I haven't yet had the resources and time to invest more into myself and my own skills. When I do, I will be worth more and thus earn more. Makes sense to me, as long as you want to be responsible for yourself. Going back to that rooted individualism. I don't blame nor do I demonize successful people for my own problems.

***** If I earn money, and I don't spend it, I haven't used that economic energy. It is still mine. My property. I decide how it is used. There's nothing wrong at all with inheriting wealth from another willing individual. It is their economic energy to pass on. Private property controlled by free, private citizens. It doesn't matter if you think a business shouldn't be passed onto family. Maybe in some cases they won't be successful, it's the property or shareholder's decision to elect who they see fit to run the company. Again, it's about property rights. People who initially earn and / or build the property or wealth in question, own it and decide how it is used. Who are you to decide who will be successful? No one is more driven to see their property maintained or business succeed than to those it belongs to. NO ONE. It's absolutely critical for a thriving society and a free society to have the utmost respect and incentive to protect and uphold the strongest of property rights possible. That is freedom and power in this world.

UnknownXV Let me first say it is always a pleasure to hear intelligent and respectful debate on this channel. I just had a question for you. You wrote: "inheritance is the fabric of a family based society." And I wondered what you meant by that. I spend time with my family because there is something inherently valuable in doing so. I have inherited virtually no [direct] money from my predecessors, and I don't spend time with them because I want their property when they pass on. [you could argue I "inherited" much while being raised by them, but I don't think that is what you were referring to, was it?]

The Elven Jedi Sorry, I never got a notification of your reply before. I'll answer this now. The way I look at it is not what you want to get out of family, but what you want to give to them. If I ever have kids, one of my largest goals will be to provide for them, keep them safe and make sure their lives are as happy as possible; especially after I die. In that context, passing on the wealth I accumulate is key. The more that is taxed, the more it destroys my incentive to keep working beyond what I need for my own survival.

UnknownXV I think the every man for himself argument of Libertarianism is flawed by the fact that you live in a society. We already participate in a society where we are never the product of our own will, drive, and ambition. We stand on the shoulders of giants and trust each other. We have built a society in which benefits most but at the cost of some. We must respect this. We all are trying to work together to better things for everyone. That's why we outlaw murder because it is not survival of the fittest. That's why poor people don't break down the doors of the ritch and drag them out into the streets to have their heads cut off (Unless you push them too far like the French did) So no we do not own wealth, just like you don't really own your life completely. You can't kill whenever you wasn't to and you shouldn't be able to displace others with your wealth. Yes I say displace because there is only so much wealth to be had. The more you have, the less there is for the rest of us. How do we create more wealth? Technology advancement helps us make it effecient but new wealth comes from exploiting the planet, a finite resource. The reality is it's all finite, everyone has a stake in what the richest person makes, because their horde of gold take away from the possible pile for everyone else and they have a responsibility to help those they displace.

Difficult to judge because Crassus is super old. Also, 10% of what money? Roman money? Because China was pretty big at the time too, and I bet they had more money than Rome did (though it is impossible to compare, as they did not trade with each other directly so there wasn't an exchange rate).

For comparison, the wealth of the entire roman empire at it's peak is worth less than italy's economy during the 1800s. Industrialization changed wealth massively.

me you John mentioned Charlie Chaplin a few episodes ago, and Chaplin was born in London. (Okay, a small-ish city area near London.) Either way, not in the U.S.

So, raise taxes, build new highspeed rail lines, and open up the border to free immigration. Then we can grow the economy.
