🚙 A car is parked 92% of the time.
🚗 A car spends 20% of its driving time looking for parking.
🚙 Its 5 seats only move ø 1.5 people.
🚗 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels.
🚙 A road at peak throughput is only 10% covered with cars.
Sounds efficient ?

How did the rise of capitalism affect human welfare? Did it make poverty better or worse? Where did progress come from?
We have a new study that explores these questions, looking at 500 years of data. It's a troubling but also inspiring story... 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

The argument that we can keep adding people with no consequences is the same one people use for Bitcoin. We haven’t thought it through, but who cares? It would be good for business.
