This makes a lot of sense. I also often wonder what keeps multibillionaires going and why they all seem be be retiring so late in their lives. For sure there is greed involved but it seems to go beyond that. It’s as if modern billionaires feel somehow responsible for keeping the entire global economy running. Maybe if they sell too many shares at the wrong time, they will crash the entire global economy. If they don’t hire enough university graduates, or there is not enough diversity among their employees, that will crash the global economy. I think those big numbers are deceptive. Our global monetary system has fueled an extremely fragile economy; a house of cards with a few people who have their fingers on the self-destruct button.

Technocrats and central bankers have used technology and big data to try to foresee and prevent every possible crisis in real time, but in doing so, the system has become increasingly fragile and fickle. The global economy seems to have become a giant game of whack-a-mole… Built on top of a house of cards.
