@adamlebor @TheTimesBooks @HoZ_Books@public_affairs@GeorginaCapel@InstituteDanube I have been interested in this subject for decades.

Fraction of all US wealth owned by Boomers & Gen-Xers when the average member of each was age 35:

On April 6, 1964, at the CNR Recreational Association Chess Club in Montreal, an exhibition was held featuring 28-year-old Alex Siklos playing 17 club members simultaneously. Three hours later, Alex had won all 17 games. Remembering him on what would have been his 84th birthday.
and how depressing and sobering it is to learn that, for all the wonderful things Daunt has done with Waterstones, the business still can’t really both make a reasonable profit and pay a living wage... /3
