Why Are the Rich Rich? What Money Is the Middle Class Earning?

The expected long-term returns exceed short-term investment, creating an arbitrage opportunity—leveraged arbitrage can lead to wealth. In everyday terms, this means borrowing money now to bet on future high returns.

In other words, no one is truly waiting for the chicken to lay eggs, for the chicken to hatch, or for organic growth and gradual wealth accumulation. Instead, they leverage and buy traffic directly to build a "chicken factory," because by the time you wait, the market will already be gone.

The wealthy invest their capital, while the middle class educates itself to work for the wealthy at high salaries—that's what's happened over the past few decades.

The wealthy arbitrage the broad market; the middle class arbitrages the profits spilled by the wealthy (money that accompanies arbitrage); and the poor are the ones being arbitragaged.

So, failed education is education that cannot cooperate with arbitrage; successful education is education that enables you to cooperate with the wealthy's arbitrage.
