A more realistic portrayal of the future of Humanity 4.5 would star the relative few who are going to use
the enormous wealth accumulated by the globalist bourgeois empire to fund their own Promethean futures, self - cast in the role of «early adopters» whose job is to keep the cutting edge of progress sharp.
So both the rate of return, and the length of compounding have
enormous leverage in creating future
wealth.Simply stated, if your goal is to
accumulate a significant amount of
wealth during your lifetime, you must first save something, and then exercise some amount of control over one of two factors: your long - term rate of return, or the time horizon T over which you compound your
wealth.
