This is why we need a strong government, to counter human nature, to balance fast thinking and selfishness with slow thinking and community. We don’t need to make idols of the wealthy to inspire achievement. Wealth and success are motivation enough. We are not dressing billionaires up as heroes because they need better marketing. We are dressing them to obscure the truth—that while innovation still happens, and hard work still exists, an ever-increasing share of the spoils are not going to the innovators but to the owners.
