"Beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined,
I think of crime when I'm in a New York state of mind."
- Nas, N.Y. State of Mind
While this lyric from Nas' "N.Y. State of Mind" might not seem directly related to Chapter 12 at first glance, it captures the essence of the chapter's theme. In the context of the chapter, the "walls of intelligence" could be seen as the barriers that prevent people from accessing opportunities to build wealth together. By breaking down these walls, a community can come together and redefine their collective future. The mention of crime and the New York state of mind serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by many communities, but also highlights the potential for change through cooperative economics and wealth-building initiatives.
This is where you can multiply your potential and practice cooperative economics. When a community of individuals comes together to build wealth collectively, true impact occurs. Focusing on personal wealth by building an individual portfolio is essential, but a community that takes pride and ownership in building wealth as a collective becomes an unstoppable force.
