A lot of what is said makes sense and may come to pass one way or another, but I think the problem is even more complicated than might at first be apparent.
Russell makes a point that if you have something tangible like a house or a piece of art etc, you will be better off, but that in itself needn't be true. I believe it ultimately comes down to government power. ie if I own houses for example, the government could introduce such taxes that it will be cheaper to get rid of them rather than own( socialism, communism etc), or introduce financial barriers (ie high stamp duty) in entering the market.
Skills are not tangible per se but can create wealth depending on market need.
We live in interesting times and i have lived lng enough to know that nothing is impossible, and anything can happen. Just don't know when.
