Who is winning in this economy right now?

Ask:

Who’s winning in this economy right now?

Warren Buffet:

“The rich. Guys like me, you know, we have gone from having 93 billion to the top 400 in 1982 to having 2.4 trillion, 25 for one. People who… It becomes a more and more specialized market economy. It was an agrarian economy a couple hundred years ago. Very hard, you know, to get 20 times the wealth of the next guy because you were a little bit better farmer.”

“富人。像我这样的人，你知道，我们已经从1982年的930亿人进入前400名，变成了2.4万亿，25万亿。这些人……它变得越来越专业化的市场经济。几百年前是农业经济。你知道，很难获得下一个人20倍的财富，因为你是一个更好的农民。”

Warren Buffet:

But if you’re better at some skills now, you can become incredibly wealthy at a very young age. Not because you’ve earned the money to build one steel mill and then save it to buy another steel mill. You get the capitalized value of an idea. And so, the wealth moves big time, even on an anticipatory basis. And that has become more accentuated in the last 30 years.

但如果你现在在某些技能上做得更好，你可以在很小的时候变得非常富有。不是因为你赚了钱建造了一家钢铁厂，然后把钱存起来买了另一家钢铁工厂。你得到一个想法的资本化价值。因此，即使在预期的基础上，财富也会大幅流动。在过去的30年里，这一点变得更加突出。
