Someone's been vigorously rubbing Ayn Rand novels against his privates again.
The real question is how does wealth manage to concentrate so highly so quickly and by those who actually contribute so little.
edit: this guy is literally pulling an Atlas Shrugged. If you think you as the owner of the company 'make all of the money', I heartily suggest you try going it alone.
- solipsism 10y agoJust make sure you use the paperback!
- janpieterz 10y agoI never got why people read and get this 'owner of the company makes all the money' narrative from the book. She is obviously glorifying these man, making them the 'hero', but don't we do exactly the same in every other fictional book? It's been a while since I read a book about John and Jane that details their virtuous lives that is not played out, one way or another, on a high level (either starting or becoming a hero etc). My take from the story was more that these people exist at every level. I remember parts (I might be grossly mistaken here, but this is what I took from it) where Rearden talks about and with his most valued employees, or where Dagny has her valued associates, where the train men that 'stand their ground' are praised. I'm not sure the 'owner makes the money' story is what she wanted to portray, or possibly I just took my biased view and ran with it while reading ;)
- ArkyBeagle 10y ago"How" is that the people who make the money control the measurement methods for it. Governance is hard. CEOs once upon a time made "too much salary" so pay for performance was used. Now this.
