Noah Smith: Poverty is the default condition for much of the world--yanno, history, all of life--is poverty.
Smith: We live in a tiny little pocket of non-poverty in the universe.
If humanity simply doesn't build anything--farms, granaries, houses, water treatment systems, electric power stations--we will exist at the level of wild animals.
Most of human history is, a man standing behind a horse, walking behind the horse, looking at the horse's rear while it pulls a plow.
That's like--that's good times. But if you don't have tools and those tools don't improve, you stagnate.
Noah Smith : "We live like the kings of yesteryear. I mean, we have jobs; we've got work".
