Новогодний позитифф: Wired из 1999 рассказывает нам о том, что произойдет к 2010 и 2020:
The market will fluctuate daily, but by 2010, the Dow will soar past the 50,000 mark.
Тhe tidal waves of wealth being generated by industry are surging into the coffers of the tax collectors. The US Congressional Budget Office expects to retire the national debt by 2009. In 2020, there could be a budget surplus in the trillions.
What the rich have in the year 2000, the rest have in 2020: personal chefs, stay-at-home moms, six-month sabbaticals.
Although tax rates have lowered, the amount of money flowing into state and federal budgets is awesome. Social Security has ample funds, and hundreds of thousands of schools, hospitals, and libraries have newly opened.
Many analysts figure that one-third of Microsoft's 30,000 employees are millionaires.
That would bring concentrations to Microsoft levels: about one out of three adult worker bees with a net worth of over $1 million.
By 2010 a clear majority of Americans will be equity holders, especially in a rising market. Historically, equity investments return greater yields than debt investments (like lending at a bank), so this equity class will prosper faster than groups that came before it.
We can expect to finish life having worked only one out of every nine hours.
Even today some charitable foundations whose endowments have ballooned as a result of stocktopia can't give away money fast enough. They don't have the staff to properly process the 5 percent a year they are required to give, because that 5 percent has grown so large in dollars. As prosperity takes off, the problems of giving it away compound. Hospitals and the opera won't do. Creative philanthropy will blossom; idiosyncratic quests loom.
If ultraprosperity blooms, huge waves of money will continue to flow into US stock markets and startups as the best deals on Earth. The US economy becomes a tornado, whipping up huge gains on investments. That great sucking sound you hear is all the world's money rushing into the most booming economy.
