I am at a loss to understand at how Leftists/Marxists can look at the history of Apple and then deny that wealth creation is ultimately the product of the vision, drive and willpower of individual entrepeneurs and instead attribute wealth creation to the labor of the other 99%, or deny that wealth creation is dependent on social structures that enable the Jobs of the world to pursue their vision as opposed to hindering them. > > David Shemano
^^^^^ CB: That's a really fundamental question, yep. When it's an idea it's not wealth. Ideas are not material. Only through the labor of the 99% can the idea become millions of cell phones and all that. So , "ultimately": it is the work of the 99% that creates the wealth, not the thought of the genius. Also, you are kidding yourself if you don't think that if Steve Jobs had never been born, somebody else would have come up with some idea that sold as many widgets as Apple did. There are probably thousands of other "visions" that would have taken the place of his. Same with Henry Ford. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
