Damien KingGUEST
And then the good thing, I mean, it's not a good thing that, you know, I have my kids 50% of the time, but that 50% I don't have them, that's when I'm working on me.

Damien KingGUEST
When I'm diving into the journal and going to the gym to where I have those Skittles, a stockpile of them for them.

We're literally just doing whatever the next right thing is that we think and trying to do it as best as we can.

Robert SmithHOST
Why is the debate on Barbuda about land so important to the economics world? I can see how excited you are to talk about this.

Damien KingGUEST
If you were to ask me, what is the single most important institution that underpins the tremendous growth in prosperity through the history of mankind, my answer would be the invention of the idea of property rights.

Damien KingGUEST
Once property rights are invented, and I think this was probably 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, then for the first time, people have an incentive to save a part of their current product, to invest in the property, and then you get the, you know, the miracle of compounding.

Damien KingGUEST
You invest a little in, in, in the capacity of your productive resource, then you produce more, then you reinvest in it again, and that underlies the exponential growth of, of, of property.

Robert SmithHOST
And once you're dealing with scarce resources, then you are dealing with economics.

Damien KingGUEST
In economics, scarce doesn't mean that there is not a lot of it, it just means that there are more uses for it than the amount that exists, that, just that the amount is finite.

Damien KingGUEST
The big concept here is it is inherently difficult to protect numerous or vast public access spaces, rivers, oceans, air, coastlines.

Damien KingGUEST
It's difficult even in countries that have great public bureaucratic capacity and have lots of money.
