“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.
These words were penned in 1905 by Spanish-American Philosopher, George Santayana.
But as a society, especially in the financial services industry, have we ever really given this aphorism it’s due?
Do you remember doing history at school?
I loved it, and still do. To me, learning about history provided me with the way understanding how our current society was formed.
Do we use the same philosophy in financial planning? I will put my hand up and say I do.
