I think part of the article&#x27;s point is that there <i>is</i> no better place to put your money, and that we are likely to see reduced returns to capital across all asset classes.  It is possible to have a glut of both capital and labor if there&#x27;s no innovation in the economy.<p>(Conversely, this makes it a <i>great</i> time to be an entrepreneur if you have a good idea, but part of the article&#x27;s point is that most of the low-hanging productivity gains have already been picked, and so it&#x27;s becoming increasingly more difficult to have a good idea.)<p>Basically, it could be summed up with the old Dennis Leary song, &quot;Life&#x27;s Gonna Suck When You Grow Up.&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=3OjnwxhL72o" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=3OjnwxhL72o</a>
