But we already have a situation where smart but nasty people can set up companies. Either they are rent-seekers in which case the harm they can do is limited, or they're creative, in which case their activity benefits society. Even what they do with their money and influence in their spare time is limited in its harmful effects, because as personalities they are at root afraid of other people and/or inflicted by a profound sense of lack. These qualities ultimately lead to dumb decisions. To summarise: buying and selling are ultimately pretty boring. So is controlling people. Real power is the power to create, which is fun.
