I've never been against America, and it's only gone up and to the right. I mean, everybody keeps talking about, "oh, it's the end of the free world as we know it," but I have a different lens because I work internationally.

I would never deploy the capital I'm talking about with you in France, for example. I wouldn't do it in England. I wouldn't do it in Switzerland. I probably would do it in Abu Dhabi because that country, in 52 years, has done something extraordinary, and I am doing it there.

America seems to be able to, every four years, correct itself because people wake up after trying the bad ideas, and I think that's about to happen in this election.

They will go back on course to the core of what the economy is and the psyche of the country, which is entrepreneurship. I've never seen a situation where everybody in America says, "I don't want to be an entrepreneur. I don't have an American Dream. I don't want better for my kids. I don't want to start a business. I don't want to try something new." That's the DNA of the country.

Return on capital and economic growth

One of the core ideas of “Capital in the 21st Century” is comparing the after-tax return on capital, let me write that a little bit neater: return on capital, to economic growth. The contention is that if the return on capital ® is greater than economic g…
