The current economic system emphasizes earning from labor, but true wealth building comes from capital, a concept largely ignored in traditional education.
"the way that our economic system works, we have we live in something called a capitalist system. And a capitalist system means there's two ways you can get paid. You can get paid from your labor... But no wealthy person talks about how much money they're making from their labor. They talk about how much money they're making from their assets, from what they own, from their capital. And interestingly, in a capitalist system, the way people build the most wealth is from their capital. Yet, most of us have never learned a thing about how to make money from our capital."
