Summary
Attorney Gregory Treat introduces the "covenantal economy"—a framework for building multi-generational family legacies. He contrasts short-term transactional thinking with long-term iterative games where reputation and honor outweigh quick wins. Key concepts include "aristocratic" vs. "democratic" technologies: skills requiring decades of training and early investment versus those anyone can learn in two years.
