Why do we as a society build bridges that will last longer than any one alive today will live? I'm not sure I understand this from an economic point of view. It seems very irrational to me to deplete our current capital resources to benefit people that are not even alive yet and they will bear none of the expense.
Could it be that if we were to only address initiatives that benefited the current society, then society throughout time would be better off? Maybe if we didn't waste money building bridges that last 150 years, we could provide additional benefits to the current needy in today's society.
