> Tech startup founder > Startup early employee Plenty of these have caused harm. Many modern startups have the explicit goal of "disrupting" traditional labor rights or unions. > Marketing There's so much variability here, ranging from pretty benign activities to outright lying to people's faces about health outcomes of dangerous products. My larger point is not that marketers or tech founders are inherently evil people, but that the system is rotten. For example, despite all the charities and philanthropy going to undeveloped countries, the net flow of resource is out of these countries and into more developed ones[1]. Nothing about ETG seems to contradict these tendencies, if you work in actuarial science and help a company minimize the taxes they pay in South Africa, but then donate 50% of your paycheque back to charitable causes in the country, your actions have not been a net benefit to the people of that country.
