What’s fascinating is that Buffett’s transition isn’t just a succession story — it might be the final chapter of the American industrial conglomerate model. Berkshire is a relic in the best sense: decentralized, cash-heavy, and uninterested in short-term signaling. But post-Buffett, can that model survive the gravitational pull of financial engineering, activist pressure, and indexation flows? Abel may have the temperament, but the ecosystem has changed. Berkshire’s greatest challenge might be staying weird in a world that punishes patience.
