Capitalism is Eugenic
The big news from Forbes’ list of the world’s wealthiest men is Carlos Sim overtaking Bill Gates for the top spot. The magazine has a mini profile for everyone on the list.
Of the top 100, there are 85 men and 10 women for whom I could make out family information. The men average 3.1 children each and the women 2.8. Many of the males certainly aren’t finished yet and will crtainly bring this year’s average up by the end of their lives.
When you’re rich enough for to be on the Forbes list keeping up with the Joneses isn’t a consideration and one can have as many children as one desires.
Still, we shouldn’t get too excited. Though billionaires are doing pretty well, they’re still way behind Africa.
