We Misunderstand Where Wealth Comes From

I am not usually in the city on Fridays. But Robin Wigglesworth, in from Oslo for 0only as few days, led to me coming in on a Friday to record an MiB about his new book, “A Fabulous Debt: The Epic Story of How Bonds Built the Modern World.” More on this in a few weeks.

Tom Keene and Scarlett Fu have a new show called Bloomberg Money:

Barry Ritholtz, founder and CIO of Ritholtz Wealth, joins Scarlet Fu and Tom Keene on “Bloomberg Money.” Barry discusses how he observes most wealthy people in America became successful. They also discuss Barry’s new book ‘How Not To Invest.’

Fun show! Tom is always so generous in his praise, and I love speaking with Scarlett.

Reminder: check out the comments on the YouTube video; it’s a reminder that all social media are a laughable combination of aggressive ignorance and performative opinionating…
