Not that the political meanings of liberal / conservative in the US are very strongly tied to the literal meanings of the words, but isn't "conservative" actually an antonym of "innovative"?
- anywherenotes 14y agoAccording to dictionary it is: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/conservative http://www.thefreedictionary.com/conservative "1. favouring the preservation of established customs, values, etc., and opposing innovation" It would make sense that someone who thinks of their finances conservatively wouldn't go for all or nothing bet on a start-up. One can make a lot of money in financial companies climbing up corporate ladder, it would strike me as a more conservative approach to building a fortune.
