The Most Profitable Industries of the Last 4,000 Years

Enjoy the now, as the patient gets anti-rewarded.

Great video.. thanks

Invest in good arable land and breedable women, stone age investments

Spice and cotton,what happend to slave trade in your analysis???????

The we all go to war and everyone returns to being a farmer living a pre modern life.

AI is just hype - nothing special there - just a program with bunch of instructions

You had me until you went down the "climate change" rabbit hole. The climate "scare" is based entirely on LIES and Half-Truths. Sadly, I used to believe those lies, too.

This would have been better if the industries for each period had been listed at the start of each section. Some people are audible learners; others are visual learners. Catering to BOTH is a Win-Win for all.
😎♥✝🇺🇸💯

bro mentioned slavery in passing like it didn't drive the 18th and 19th century world economy

This is my final statement, There are people and places that are now totally beyond experiencing the best of me, purely because of the amount of time those people and places have been a negative aspect of my experience of reality, You do not require an indication as to who those people are and what locations I'm referring to as acknowledging the reality merely requires that those people are honest with themselves! If by some chance those people are not prepared to be honest with themselves the only result will be an uncomfortably awkward situation that neither will enjoy enduring enough to sustain....this is the end...

im pretty sure the ones at the top are the merchants, and today they are the capitalists and bankers.

except real estate. Land never goes bad

It’s always through the western perspective.

I need recommendation for long podcasts or videos like this

Haha... I think you meant, "fend off competitors:

great title

What abput the impact of weapons or the printing press???

video is informative but very confusing due to speaker's attempt to entertain with comparisons and sarcasm in every line

Why does he think we haven't cracked fission... This video felt like a schizophrenic wrote it

YOU ARE CLUELESS TO THE TREMENDOUSLY LIMITING REALITY OF EARTH'S GRAVITY WELL. THE REST IS SCIENCE FICTION

Land

A majot commodity was slaves. How about addressing this?

The only thing as constant as change is people being surprised and angry about change.

There’s no evidence there was a prehistoric bartering economy. They are calling it a “gift economy” but I would just call it “no economy”. Someone sees you need something and they just kind of give it to you… are not. Kinda a stretch to call that an economy.

Weapons the most profitable industry in existence

Absolutly awesome content,you earned a new subscriber.

Food , textile and property (Industrial, commercial or resenditial) are evergreen

Between the farming revolution (10,000 BCE) and the first civilization in Sumer there was a gap of about 6000 years! Manufacturing of metals happened much earlier than 500 CE - even before Sumer in the Chalcolithic Era. This video has many historical inaccuracies, I'm afraid (especially with ancient history and archaeology)

😮 meanwhile the real ruling class since the beginning of human history holding on to their gold and silver😮 gold will be valuable to cavemen because it's shiny😮 and is valuable to AI robot 10000 years in the future because they need f**** gold to make more robots😮 or they don't and they're supposed scarcity God like Civilization who still want the gold because it's shiny and a historical timepiece of when meat bags killed each other over it😮

Prostitution. The only long term reliable industry since the dawn of history

Thank you very much for your videos, you are helping do build the Future I am Feel It.

The last bit about subscription services isn't a throwaway line. A subscription service is the end goal of all business. Recurring revenue for access to a monopoly, paid monthly. It's also the way we get a library economy.

Best video ive seen in a while :)

Nah the transatlantic slave trade was uniquely heinous. That’s a well researched fact.

Some day it will go back to pointy rocks straight sticks and sinew

Believe me or not, but some 4000 years later or sooner, it will be all about oil, cotton and food again. 😁

Instead of another renaissance, a total doom is awaiting us…

When you said that the new currency will be based on art and culture did you meant ai art or that traditional art ant craft will come back

"To think the likes of Roman Egypt would have not become giants had it not been for cavemen trading rocks" is a misleading statement.
1st Roman people too evolved from people who at one point would now be considered cavemen.
2nd of all, they still would have ended up tading within regardless if they did so internationally or not.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was slave industry business ☠️☠️☠️

Glad to know the answer wasn't war and jewelery

God the universe lasts for ever , ai lasts for ever , dirt lasts for ever . Ai is done with you all and your squabbling 👁️

the email you use the most 😂🤣

Religion

Maybe the child labor was the reason economy was better for the families, too many kids not working today

Perhaps not the most profitable but definitely evergreen, prostitution is somewhere in all this history.

We roamed the planet for almost 100 millenniums, and I'm the last 3 or 4 we went from hunter gatherers to (pretty close) space fasting fairing beings.

God, give me a glimpse of the next 1000 years before I die, please.

And now it's also cycling back to craftmanship (at least for individual success)... with mass produced products, talented craftpeople (given they are also decent marketers) are booming, and I believe this will be even more true in the future with AI, when the machine will be commonplace, the human touch will become a true rarity
