Mongo is everywhere I look

Eric Beinhocker no seu livro "The Origin of Wealth" escreve:
.
"Retailers have a measure, known as stock keeping units, or SKUs, that is used to count the number of types of products sold by their stores. For example, five types of blue jeans would be five SKUs. If one inventoried all the types of products and services in the Yanomamô economy, that is, the different models of stone axes, the number of types of food, and so on, one would find that the total number of SKUs in the Yanomamô economy can probably be measured in the several hundreds, and at the most in the thousands. The number of SKUs in the New Yorker's economy is not precisely known, but using a variety of data sources, I very roughly estimate that it is on the order of 10^10 (in other words, tens of billions). To put this enormous number in perspective, estimates of the total number of species on earth range from 10^6 to 10^8.
Thus, the most dramatic difference between the New Yorker and Yanomamô economies is not their "wealth" measured in dollars, a mere 400-fold difference, but rather the hundred-million-fold, or eight orders of magnitude difference in the complexity and diversity of the New Yorkers' economy versus the Yanomamô economy"

Comparar este texto, com este outro publicado ontem na revista The Economist "Two thousand years in one chart":
.
"over 28% of all the history made since the birth of Christ was made in the 20th century. Measured in years lived, the present century, which is only ten years old, is already "longer" than the whole of the 17th century. This century has made an even bigger contribution to economic history. Over 23% of all the goods and services made since 1AD were produced from 2001 to 2010"

Comparar com as ideias de Hausmann e a explosão do espaço de produtos.

Tudo a contribuir para a ideia de Mongo!!!
