Oh haha you misunderstand me then. I've no love for Bernie but this " explanation " of the real world is so devoid of reality as to be vapid. Nice crack about the aderall but I don't do Tax work. I'm in corporate finance and treasury working for a HNW individual and I see first hand how much of the "value" of a multi billionaire is created through the monopoly power of the family business relationships, lobbying and tax manipulation. So when you finish your PHD, do you plan to teach or go to Wall Street and create some new type of synthetic derivative that simultaneously creates no actual value for society and adds loads of systemic risk to the market? Just joking in good fun... We'll sort of lol.
