• At the beginning of World War II the U.S. had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. The question at the start of World War II was: Do we have enough funds to produce the required implements of war? The answer was No, we did not have enough money, nor did we have enough gold; but we did have more than enough resources. It was the available resources that enabled the US to achieve the high production and efficiency required to win the war. Unfortunately this is only considered in times of war.

The reality is that inequality with respect to capital is a far greater domestic issue than it is an international one.

• Most investors are pretty smart. Yet most investors also remain heavily invested in actively managed stock funds. This is puzzling.
