The Great Stagnation

The author forgot the low hanging fruit of labor oppression, genocide and outright slavery. We didn't just walk into an empty continent and find a bunch of natural resources ripe for plunder.

I agree with the premise that as we try to do less of that (mostly because there isn't much left to steal anymore) it's going to get harder to get productivity gains. But have we considered hunting the billionaires like dragons? If we slay the dragon, we get to take the dragon hoard for ourselves? It would also be an economic activity that has a lot of usefulness. I think we should consider it.

Anyways, short book kind of meanders along. It's not terribly important to read imo.
