Comment on Charlie Munger Predicts Horrible Economic Crisis Where Everything Will Collapse

Comments

Best quote by Munger, "The world is not driven by greed, it's driven by envy."

To start, this explains why social media, and such, can be so nasty and why many of us are never completely satisfied with what we have.

It's a good video to watch.

It's funny, once I heard the Munger quote it made so much sense and it sounded so obvious, yet I would have never thought of it on my own. Thanks for the link.
