<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Is the definition of wealth having a lot of whatever the culture values? (I'm late meeting Nick's challenge to me.) The former Bhutan (it's changing drastically and rapidly) valued Happiness. It's why their happy people thought they were wealthy, despite being one of the world's least "developed" country. (GDP is now rising with outside development of its natural resources). </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Mar 12, 2021 at 1:31 PM Steve Smith <<a href="mailto:sasmyth@swcp.com" target="_blank">sasmyth@swcp.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Tangenting off of the Great Man discussion, I would like to solicit a<br>
discussion on "What is Wealth for". I believe we have attended to this<br>
on the side many times (I remember a vFriam where it was declared that<br>
"Billionaires are Assholes, but Millionaires aren't (necessarily)"? <br>
<br>
Each of our Great (Wo)Men on the snark/not-snark list share one thing in<br>
common, Wealth. I'd be interested to hear others riff a little more on<br>
their taxonomies of "what is Wealth for?"<br>
