It facilitates most of the world's trade, happens through very large companies.
So when you invest in our system and you join in the hundreds of years of people who've learned that if we pool our resources, humanity can do
absolutely incredible things, you're kind of participating in that journey.
And in fact, capital, one analogy I have for how the machine of progress worked is that you do need a foundation of like good rules and laws and all those things.
And without those foundations, we see the world can really fall apart.
Like you can see places like Venezuela or North Korea
On those foundations, the thing that holds up our prosperity has two legs and it's capital and it's energy.
And so what people don't understand is just how much capital it takes to make the world go around and how much energy.
So per worker versus 1925, a person, average person on the planet now has nine times more tools and equipment and capital behind them.
And the planet overall uses 10 times more energy.
So what the world is going to look like is a world with a lot of capital,
a lot of energy.
So that's the basic fact.
But of course, today as an investor, it kind of feels like choppy waters.
We see this volatility.
On one hand, you see the global balance sheet is really stretched.
Last time I looked, US equities were like 3.3 times GDP, which is a historically very, very high amount.
But even on the debt side, we've never seen a more
indebted corporate sector than we've got in China.
We've never seen more indebted government sectors than we do in Italy and Japan, soon to be maybe even the US.
