Welcome to Wealth Economics. It's a new forum for me, building on almost twenty years of past research and writing — hundreds of posts at True Conservative (remember Typepad?), Asymptosis, Angry Bear, Evonomics, and elsewhere.
My more academic recent efforts are listed most conveniently in the pinned tweets on my Twitter account: @asymptosis. After all those years of study I finally felt that I was knowledgeable enough to start writing in that medium and format.
The focus here is on wealth — how it’s tallied and conceived in national accounts, how it’s treated and understood (or frequently, not) in economics, how it accumulates and increases (where assets come from), and how its distribution and (extreme) concentration affect economies, economic growth, and human prosperity and well-being.
Thanks for listening. I hope you find it valuable.
