Recent book journey: Principles of Economics (Ammous): it was…ok. A little ranty at times. Imo Bitcoin and Fiat Standard were much better, but still worth the read. Born to Run: a classic, just finished, incredible story. Definitely read if a runner. Don’t fully buy in to the minimalist shoe/barefoot argument but still awesome book. Running is amazing. Blood Meridian: heard it’s nuts, just started. Broken Money (@Lyn Alden): next on deck, can’t wait. Any other suggestions for books? (Any genre)

🎯 Also as an interesting side note (via The Kobeissi Letter): “Americans now need $114,000 in annual income to afford the typical house in the US. This is up a massive 90% from $60,000/year of income required to buy a typical house in 2020. To put this in perspective, the median American HOUSEHOLD makes $75,000/year. In other words, the median household income is now 52% BELOW the income needed to afford a typical home. Mortgage rates have gone from 2.6% to 8.0% in the same time that home prices are up 30%+.” View quoted note →

“Government spending, beyond just being damaging to the economy by disrupting individuals private calculations of profit and loss, is destructive because it must be financed by taxation either directly or through inflation. Taxing producers to finance government spending penalizes economic production, thus, reducing the incentive to engage in it. The depreciation of savings reduces the incentive to save, and the taxation of capital gains reduces the incentive to invest. By making a person less able to provide for his or her future, governments counteract the process of lowering time preference, which is the driving force of human civilization.” - Principles of Economics (Ammous version, pg 324) #Bitcoin
