Just call them oligarchs and have done with the whole argument. Wait, what happened to the robber barons? I guess they didn't have PACs.

That doesn't answer the question. Why does the government need to underwrite the risk you assume for convenience? And "everybody does it" isn't an excuse, it just makes the prospect of the government doing so all the mor

Isn't that going from max right on the pendulum to somewhere close to max left?

Earthsea also has plenty of material. It may be too refined for Hollywood, LeGuin's writing is on a whole different level. The only decent adaptation was "Lathe of Heaven" (1980).
