'Success' is the core topic behind Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers: The Story of Success". If you read the book, you will see that the word "success" is used in a capitalist context which in most cases should be interpreted as 'financial success' - That is the most common interpretation.
- rhizome 10y agoSo when he invokes Asian successes in math just on the front flap, he's talking about money? When he talks about Major Junior A league of Canadian Hockey, that's about money, too, even when he says you can't buy your way in? Bill Joy talking about his own proficiency in his sophomore year of college? The book exists in a capitalist context, sure, but the stories are not dependent on it by my reading.
