Please roast this thumbnail and these title ideas

tl;dr I could use your help on the thumbnail and title of my next video. I attached my thumbnail idea above, and listed ten ideas for the title below. Please leave feedback!


My channel is going to be short 5-15 minute video about big topics like economics, politics, and behavioral science. I admire and want to emulate channels like CGP Grey, RealLifeLore, Legal Eagle, Cuck Philosophy and whatifalthist.

This will be the first video for this rebooted channel idea. The video will be about the New York Times bestselling book, Capital in the 21st Century by French economist Thomas Piketty. The thumbnail is the formula r > g, made famous by the book. (It means returns on capital are greater than the growth rate of the economy.)


Title ideas

  • Thomas Piketty's formula explains why the rich get richer
  • The math behind why millennials can't get out of debt
  • A French economist figured out why we can't get out of debt
  • A surprise economics bestseller on why debt seems hopeless
  • The powerful economic formula shining a light on inequality
  • What this famous equation tells us about wealth inequality
  • What a New York Times bestselling book taught us about wealth mobility
  • One economics breakthrough to win political arguments on Thanksgiving
  • Understand why wealth mobility has collapsed, and what we can do about it
  • Wealth inequality has been extreme for almost all of history, except one era

Thank you!

    I like : "The math behind why millennials can't get out of debt" & "What a New York Times bestselling book taught us about wealth mobility"
    However, I don't like your thumbnail, because if you haven't read Piketty's book, you won't know what it's about, and personally a math formula isn't very enticing and will not make me want to click on a video.
    Hope this helps :)
