Not everything is quantifiable, and even more, not any family of things (investments, in this case) admits a linear ordering (they may even not admit a total order).
There can be incomparable outcomes from actions, and they may be maximal in their suborder.
This is difficult until you stop measuring everything and dedicate a minute to think of ordered trees.
Also, "Heaven on Earh", by Emma Wells, about nine or ten Gothic Cathedrals (mostly the history of their building and preservation). A bit too plain for my taste but includes interesting facts and anecdotes.
Finished recently:
-Flowers for Algernon, which I liked a lot.
-Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke, so beautiful and surprising.
-The Great Gatsby, which I had not read yet and which I have loved reading.
So paying a price for an intelectual product is reasonable. Nothing to do (per se) with property.
