Ep 245 | It’s Hard To Make a Living But It Doesn’t Have To Be

Rabbi Daniel Lapin

This is the 500th episode of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show. I hope you find it worthy. Juneteenth--celebrating the execution of traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, June 19, 1953. Here's an interesting exercise: How would you do as Robinson Crusoe, stranded on a remote and deserted island? Easier or harder if your spouse were there with you? How can the answer help you make more money? How come no Aztecs set up a colony in Barcelona? No Indonesians set up a colony near Amstierdam. No Nigerians set up a colony outside London. Why only the other way? Why did Europeans build fearsome firearms but the Chinese who invented gunpowder never used it in a canon. The West built cities with sanitation while the rest of the world foundered in filth. Was t race, environment, biology or something else? The secret sauce that built western civilization which the whole world desired and emulated. That made Europe leap ahead of the rest of the world starting in about the year 300. How can we use this secret sauce to improve our lives just as it did so conspicuously for Northern Europe. It doesn't have to be hard to make a living.
