Money is a way of creating scarcity.

Time is the scarcity, and it's the commodity we can't create any more of.

For me, the opposite of scarcity is not abundance. It's enough. I'm enough. My kids are enough.

It is more rewarding to be complicit with scarcity than excess.

The waste of plenty is the resource of scarcity.

As much as we can, we want to prevent people from having to think about how to keep and share their stuff.

We fear the thing we want the most.

There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.

For the rich, it's not about getting more stuff. It's about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want.

My fundamental tenets are concerned with freedom of the individual; the market isn't perfect, but it's the best available way of allocating resources.
