Epiloge, Question 6 Marin
This might have been on of my most favorite chapters just because I liked how it did't necessarily inform me a lot of facts about economics, but rather started asking questions which then made me really think about human nature and our future for economics. The question that struck me the most was "How rich is rich enough." This I feel like can really describe a common issue or theme in American culture. A lot of people may be working towards the American dream, go to college, get a job, get married, buy a house have a family ect. Also when a person says "I wanna be rich" and then you follow up with "Oh how much do you want to make or have saved." Do they actually know? There is no end game. I feel like human greed can take over and lead to a never ending game. Instead, we should measure things like happiness, love, and stress. I mean there really is no way to measure these, but if people start using " I wanna be happy" when I'm older, I feel like it will pave a more enjoyable path for them. Maybe once we do reach the rich-enough stage, we might be able to step back and analyze this more. Also as I read and saw that there will come a day when we work so much that we eventually will work less. I am so excited for that day. I hope it comes within the next few weeks.
