One reason why economists shouldn't worry too much about our children's
children is that, no matter what economists do, our children's children
are likelier to be wealthier than we are and thus better able to solve
their own problems.

Apart from during major wars and epidemics, has the contrary been true
at any stage in the last ... forever?
