How to Make Wealth |
 | | Wealth is what people want, and if people aren't using your software, maybe it's not just because you're bad at marketing. |
 | | Until a few centuries ago, the main sources of wealth were mines, slaves and serfs, land, and cattle, and the only ways to acquire these rapidly were by inheritance, marriage, conquest, or confiscation. |
 | | This is an interesting sort of wealth to study, because it is the kind that prevents you from starving. |
