I really like their approach but I want to comment on the Mexican Fisherman story.
Neither the fisherman nor the banker have it right. You see, the banker may be overly ambitious, but the fisherman is not taking precaution against future's uncertainty. You can be sure DHH has enough money and he doesn't need the headache of running a big business. The fisherman, on the other hand, may want to consider the day he cannot fish and not expect the seas to provide until his very last day.
- wavefunction 9y agoThe Mexican fisherman leans on his family and friends, his community, when he runs into trouble. The banker relies on a socialized bailout.
- oldcynic 9y agoThe fisherman feels shame and regret for having to turn to friends and family. Especially now his community is struggling as a result of having to bail out the finance sector. The banker is happy to be getting on with business as usual.

- watwut 9y agoThe fisherman gets little support from community, because they are still pissed he testified against popular community member back then. Closed small communities often work that way.
