Such a well written story. Thank you.

Maybe a 5% to 7% real return is a sort of financial constant throughout the ages.

I suspect that higher real returns would likely attract competition that would drive down profits (and as such returns), and lower returns would be insufficient to encourage continued investment in the business!
