Towards Productivity

The following excerpt from a post at Phil's Favorites defines the last 30 years or so:

In Jesse's view, and we agree, the “yawning gap between productive labor and mere money manipulation” needs to be closed, and hard choices are required to resolve the unsustainable concentration of both power and risk. -- Entering the Debt Dimension

The amusing part about this 30 plus year manipulation run is that it is far more gratifying to actually produce something. I'm fortunate in that I realized this just 10 years or so into my investment career -- 20 years ago. Most of my former colleagues are still firmly ensconced in the manipulative world.

My ideas on making the switch to a productive environment can be found here.

"Other large-scale epidemiological studies confirm such trends in the general population of disadvantaged children. Among all children, including all socioeconomic groups, the incidence of A.D.D. is estimated at 8 percent. What we found was that the environment of the child predicted development of A.D.D. problems. In stark contrast, measures of neurological anomalies at birth, I.Q. and infant temperament — including infant activity level — did not predict A.D.D."
