I highly recommend all of ribbonfarm and especially:

- ancient rivers of money

- The Return of the Barbarian

- Can Hydras eat unknown unknowns for lunch

There is also a more recent one where he writes about young people and their attitudes about money and property ownership and "life scripts" that was here on HN and metafilter and other places but I don't know the name of it ... was quite good.

Sounds like "The Premium Mediocre Life of Maya Millennial" https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2017/08/17/the-premium-mediocre-l...

No, I don't know how I came to be replying about Ribbonfarm a day late to a comment deep in a thread I haven't read most of.
