Didn't you just say that rent-seeking is bad, and now you're defending someone who did nothing but seek rent?

- simonh 5y agoI was responding to a comment about billionaires in general, and have not mentioned any individual billionaires so I'm not sure what you are referring to. The only capitalist in particular I defended was my father in law. Actually his father as my father in law was a child at the time. His father was a farmer that committed the terrible crime of renting out some of his land instead of letting it lie fallow. He and his whole family worked incredibly hard in a small village in Hebei until they were evicted from their farm by the Communists.
