In a previous post I talked about how rich 38 of Australia's billionaires really are. Today, I read a brilliant post by Robert Reich about US myths [thanks Jill!]. What really grabbed my attention was this video which debunks the myth of the self-made billionaire:
Isn't it time we stopped idolizing these poor little rich boys?
Isn't it time we stopped rewarding them for being more ruthless than just about everybody else on the planet?
Isn't it time we stopped wanting to be like them... and castigating ourselves when our scruples make us 'fail'?
I know who I admire, and it ain't any of these guys.
