> Did you forgot about the dot-com bubble when the tech industry was the one guilty of being over-rewarded for what was often was no value (pet.com)?

You forget that while tech entrepreneurs made some money in dot-com IPOs, the financial industry made an absolute killing.

You also seem to imply that everyone is rewarded according to the value they add, leaving out the possibility that a group of people get together and form a de facto monopoly, which is somewhat reminiscent of the big players in the IPO industry.
