Leading Entrepreneurs "Are Chosen for Performance Alone"



(p. 5) Far from being greedy, America's leading entrepreneurs-- with some unrepresentative exceptions--display discipline and self-control, hard work and austerity that excel that in any college of social work, Washington think tank, or congregation of bishops. They are a strange riffraff, to be sure, because they are chosen not according to blood, credentials, education, or services rendered to the establishment. They are chosen for performance alone, for service to the people as consumers.
