Kyle Kispert. Epilogue. Question 6

In the epilogue, Wheelan brings up an interesting question when discussing "How many minutes of work will a loaf of bread cost?"Work is something virtually everyone in the Unites States seek to do at various stages of life. Its hard to have an income without working. As talked about in this book, the economy is growing the more we work. In that paragraph, Wheelan asks how rich is rich enough? As people get more wealthier so does the nation. This has obvious positive effects on our lives. For example, as America becomes wealthier, health care can improve and become more accessible in the long run. This chapter made me think if there are any negative impacts to our nation getting wealthier. In many utopian movies that I can think of, where there seems to be an endless supply of money, a problem always arises and people don't always appear as happy. If one day we become so rich that we can have anything we want, would we feel satisfied or would we lose morals. I think that not being the richest man in the world drives us to work harder and learn more. No one knows how much our economy will grow but human life may be dramatically different it if continues to grow.
