284. Superabundance: The Age of Plenty | Marian Tupy, Gale Pooley
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
Human Frustration and Its Enemies
Income inequality exists alongside time inequality, demonstrated through the evolution of time prices of basic commodities, such as rice and wheat. Innovation and falling prices have resulted in a significant reduction in the time required to earn these commodities, benefiting the poor by providing them with more time to pursue education, creativity, and productivity. Time prices offer a reliable measure for international comparison and assessing changes in inequality. 'Human Frustration and Its Enemies' explores human flourishing through chapters detailing the journey from the rainforest to the Industrial Revolution, the role of innovation in the great enrichment, the connection between population growth and freedom in fostering innovations, and the obstacles to progress posed by romanticism and extreme environmentalism.
