My research for this video primarily relied on piecing together stats from different articles, but this Harvard Business Review podcast (which I really only read in transcript form) was the most important thing for unlocking the perspective you see in the video. Not that Mr. Reilly ever says any of this explicitly. He’s pretty on message. But it kinda shaped my perspective.

Read Thorstein Veblen’s book. Many copies are available: https://moglen.law.columbia.edu/LCS/t...

One of those books that I found alluringly persuasive, and then it brings up something woefully outdated or that we’d call backward. Kind of helpful to not get too lured in, actually.
