Are we not back to the parable of the fisherman and the banker? http://www.garywu.net/fisherman-and-banker/ http://www.garywu.net/fisherman-and-banker/ - It depends on who "we" is. In some cultures, "being the banker" is the ultimate goal in life. I remember talking to a person coming from one of such cultures, telling that "we are taught ambition since we are children". Ambition for the sake of ambition is the root of "being the banker". So certain cultures are not "back to the parable" - they never moved; they likely, never will, and that's fine, it's their choice, and I don't assume that's negative just because I disagree with it. This relates to the previous statement: Call me old fashioned, but rather than working yourself silly to then spend your money buying time back "Bankers" (or "banking cultures", to follow up with the metaphor) won't do this - they will actually see it as opportunity to produce more with the same time.
