The
Rational Argumentator
Commonly Misunderstood Concepts: Wealth -- Video
Many of the economic and personal fallacies of our time arise from the mistaken belief that wealth and money are identical. In fact, while money is in many cases an important gateway to wealth, it does not even approach describing what wealth truly is.
Mr. Stolyarov provides a more sophisticated, nuanced, and reality-oriented view of wealth and critiques the attitudes that cause phenomena such as the recent housing market bubble. This video is a companion to this essay.
