Guy next to me on the train had like 100 books all about the pareto principle like surely 1 is enough. The rest was other business and self help books like cmon read something fun just once. Anyway i was reading Gormenghast cos im cool
20% of the people own 80% of the pareto principle books
What is crazy is that the Pareto principle is literally an arbitrary ratio that was made up to justify why 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the people. There isn't actually much more to it than that other than that some lean engineering guy from the U.S. got it in his head that it must be a magic ratio for efficiency because some fascist Italian matematician came up with it.
