That's a pretty bold statement and it is probably wrong. Studies have shown that rich people tend to have less empathy for others. Then you also have that other trend of a high rate of psychopaths among CEOs.
- ethanbond 5y agoThis doesn’t contradict GP. To contradict it, your claim would have to be that lack of empathy solely exists in the wealthy. Regardless of relative frequency, that’s obviously not true.
- tastyfreeze 5y agoNot being rich doesn't make you an immutable exemplar of morality. Give any group of people enough money to make them "rich" and you will get the same behavior as the current rich. We are all humans with the same flaws and tendencies. Money doesn't change that. Studies also show that as much as 25% of criminals are psychopaths. Psychopathy has survived in humans for a reason. It makes survival in some situations easier. The fact that there are a few more CEOs that are psychopaths over the general population doesn't show anything other than psychopathy can be beneficial in that job.
