Patrick O'Shaughnessy discussed The World After Capital by Albert Wenger. Josh Wolfe discussed Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari.

   The World After Capital

   Albert Wenger · at 54:11

   The World After Capital by Albert Wenger examines the societal transition from the industrial age to the knowledge age, arguing that capital is no longer scarce while human attention has become the ultimate finite resource.

   Discussed

   “I'm really excited for Albert Wegner's new book. I think it's called World Without Capital or Beyond Capital, something like that, where he mentions the scarce resource used to be capital.”

   Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a sweeping examination of human history, evolution, and society that charts how our species came to dominate the earth.

   “you mentioned sapiens before. So if you think about – you know, you've got objective, subjective, intersubjective reality. Money doesn't really exist.”
