Naomi Alderman
“Capitalism has a lot of problems, and yet it is also better than any previous system of distributing privileges and rights in the sense that my money spends just as well as anybody else's. And that is not true if you're distributing your social privilege on the basis of whose child are you or what do you look like or what background do you come from or who do you happen to be friends with. All of these things are much less equal than how much money do you have, even though how much money do you have is still not very equal.”
Naomi Alderman

Bethany McLean
“I don't know about you, but I always enjoy my leisure time more when I feel like I've earned it, and maybe that's just in my upbringing, and maybe you can rewire people not to feel like they need to earn their leisure time, I don't know.”
Bethany McLean

Aswath Damodaran
“You can live a perfectly happy life without ever knowing how to value a company.”
Aswath Damodaran

“Prosperity is the only foundation we can have for environmental sustainability. No one cares about climate change when you are poor.

Climate change, decarbonization, net zero, recycling, sustainability is an upper-middle-class desire. The best way we have to get this desire satisfied is to have as many upper-middle-class people as we can.”
Jesús Fernández-Villaverde

Jonathan Haidt
“There’s no getting around it. We are tribal primates. We are exquisitely designed and adapted by evolution for life in small societies with intense, animistic religion and violent, intergroup conflict. We love tribal living so much that we invented sports, fraternities, street gangs, fan clubs and tattoos. As tribal primates, human beings are unsuited for life in large, diverse, secular democracies, unless you get certain settings finely adjusted to make possible the development of stable political life.”
Jonathan Haidt
