Spotify — “To unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by these creators. The book is an easy read because after reading a few paragraphs, the chart clearly explains the relevant facts!

It also took millions of hours of work from thousands of engineers and other wage earners, most of whom were the product of one of the largest government programs we have: public schools. Scott Galloway is a professor of marketing at NYU Stern School of Business and a serial entrepreneur.Friendship is dwindling—people report fewer close friends than they did thirty years ago, and 15% of men and 10% of women have no close friends at all. Here is a helpful through-line for any consumer of Galloway's articles, books, or podcasts: like every person who becomes a master in his field, Galloway is insightful and brilliant when he is operating in that field, and just as clueless as anyone else when operating outside it. In my opinion, this book grossly oversimplified 100 different issues and used the facade of ���statistics” to appear objective and authoritative.

For example, America now produces nearly as much economic activity in any given month than it did over the course of an entire year in the 1950s. It's good to see someone of his class, in his business put forward an earnest case like this but it fails to convince thoroughly because of the choice of format.Now, "the delta between flat wage growth and increased productivity in America is literally trillions of dollars in surplus values" — money that's gone to the richest shareholders, he added.
