So you believe we should be living in an authoritarian command economy?This is a really weird way of looking at things (and not the normal way people use the term opportunity cost, but whatever, let's not get bogged further with terminology). You honestly don't see the difference between productive and unproductive economic activities?
But you know what, you don't want to do it on macro, let's go micro, what this hedge fund aimed to do was to get rich people richer, and to give them income without them having to work. I think this is bad. I'm sorry that I have to resort loaded and poorly defined terms, but I donno, if I can't use economics terminology or frameworks I'm kinda left with this.
Really man, you don't see any difference between me buying a product and this?
Since all investment and interest is "getting income without having to work."
