That was very interesting.  I'm still digesting the whole thing so I don't have any profound insights right now.

Schools give the impression that business, finance, investing are somehow rational.  The fact is a heck of a lot of business decisions are made based on emotion rather than logic or rational thought.

Its very interesting, and I am only part way down it. I would love to know a bit more about who is financing it.

Most of what is written is over my general knowledge base, and the view of political/financial interactions is fascinating.

However, when it comes to something I do know a little about, it gives a very one-sided and simplistic view. imho.

the North Sea oil and gas field production it says has been wasted by the UK, compared to Norway. I have friends in both Countries in the industry, and the big difference there is the Population (5.5million to 68 million ) of each country. That as mean Norway has built a massive cash reserve. The UK has spent it.

Yes there is more left.

If I were retired I would look into the cost of subscription for interest :)

For more on who is behind it, see my second link. I think he lays out how he's getting his money if not exactly who.
