The New Kings of Capitalism
This week's edition of The Economist features an extensive series of articles on the private equity business. Recommended.
Apples and Ideas
A tip of the hat to Myke's Weblog for the reference to this quote of George Bernard Shaw:
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
[Wisdom Quotes]
Furthermore, without you, I can have none but trivial ideas. Surely, creativity is a social act. As Jan Twombly and Jeff Shuman say, an entrepreneur is a choreographer, but depends upon the willing collaboration of a cast of players.
