[lojban] language vs. economics
I found the following video very interesting.
It may be that speakers of languages with a strong future time reference (e.g., English, Italian, Russian) have better lives economically than speakers of languages with weak future time reference (e.g., Chinese, German).
A language designed without a mandatory tense marker (in particular, for the future tense), e.g., Lojban, might be better for its speakers than having an obligatory future tense marker, e.g., Esperanto.
