    I don’t get that line. Is he trying to say Jewish families in 1939 were uncivilized? Maybe he likes what Hitler did to them? Fuck that nazi douche.

    Munger, and his generation, are so vested and capitally committed to their monopoly customs that they DO NOT represent most investor’s interests.

    I think he confuses issues, and remain skeptical if he isn’t attempting to obfuscate deeper financial controls.

    Munger never lived with serious inflation. He is like most of his generation, and I hate to say it, Americans, who never experienced so much of what the rest of the world had to. See chart lableld inflation in the G5 1950-1994 http://econ161.berkeley.edu/econ_articles/theinflationofthes.html Although I am sure Ben knows best
