Maybe it is the recent spate of articles taking down a number Gladwell arguments, but I look at anything he writes at this point from the perspective of, is he being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian - and based on the abstract (no full article available to me), it seems like that is the case, once more. The examples - John Paulson, a hedge fund trader. First - is a hedge funder making trades an entrepenuer to begin with? Second - trading, in exotic securities, short, no less, is the definition of risk. He can call it predatory, but to say it isn't risky is ridiculous. Also - Ted Turner. Again, maybe the full article has more, but his one example pales against his other risks, such as launching CNN, a 24 hour cable news network when no one had even heard of such a thing or thought it would ever work.
