How did he come to the conclusion that food was scarce during hunter gatherer times? It's actually quite the opposite, the human population was not big enough to create such a thing.
I always enjoy Albert's thoughts & insights. I've only read the intro so far, but I'm already looking forward to diving into this.

Thanks for sharing the book @albertwenger! I am trying to download it off your site, but am getting an invalid certificate. Would you mind taking a look when you have a moment? http://worldaftercapital.org/faq/

Albert Wenger isn't some pop economist cranking out pages for money and glory. (He already has that stuff.) This is a deeply thought-out work, the result of years of study and experience. What is most appealing to me about it, aside from the ideas, is that human happiness and well-being are at the core. This isn't just cold theory served on an sanitized platter. There's no question that WAC is a labor of love and of purpose. Wenger won't be on to the next trend in six months — he's here for the duration.
Pros:
Highly accessible writing on some pretty challenging material. You'll be smarter after you read this.
Cons:
May make hardcore Rand fans mad.
