That's an interesting take. At least in the case of Buffett, I think he really likes what he does (I mean, the man still lives in a normal family house). To me there is a distinction between people who want to make more money and people who want to build things. The former is in it for power, whilst the latter is in it for recognition. I realize how simplistic that sounds. But many of our current problems came about because people don't care about what's behind the money. We need less indirection in the financial world. If I invest in something, I should give some kind of damn about it.
