The story of Steve Jobs is also the story of capitalism.
The way Wozniak did the Atari work but Jobs pocketed the lion's share of the profit.
"And yet one cannot deny the significance of Steve Jobs’s contribution to society either. The man is a challenge to curate. So much about him is selfish, abusive, and cruel."
"When people like Steve Jobs rise to prominence, we’re encouraged to overlook distasteful elements of their personalities. We construct narratives around how they accomplished what they accomplished that filter out all that troubling stuff"
People who defend capitalism are always giving it credit for all the advances and wealth we have in the modern world, constructing similar narratives, filtering out the ugly stuff.
So it is fitting that the company that he founded is now #1 in market capitalization, or should we say, #1 in capitalizing?
