"We are not getting richer. We are spending down a natural inheritance accumulated over geological time, entering the draw-down in the growth column, and refusing to note the corresponding reduction in assets. The net position is deteriorating, and the growth figure is a fiction. Selling one's mother's saris and calling the proceeds a salary is a known indicator of household ruin; we are doing it at planetary scale and printing the receipts as quarterly results."
