I’m curious where all this is going. I’m not not a capitalist, and dispassionately see value in entrepreneurs / titans of industry, but when billionaires are actively talking about abandoning the social contract, and 7 giant corporations own like half the S&P 500. Moderation in all things, and I’m starting to think that maybe alienating your billionaires isn’t the worst thing in the world, particularly when those billionaires demonize competition, and seem to have their primary criteria of an alternative home being, having the least limits possible, not a place for mutual exchange. I’m reading a biography of JD Rockefeller, and it’s amazing how different the ethical and legal business environment was back then. Maybe a way to put this is it’s interesting the debate doesn’t seem to change in society (capitalism good! Billionaires good!) long after multiple underlying conditions have changed. |
