A businessman’s success vs. a bureaucrat’s success
"A businessman’s success depends on his intelligence, his knowledge, his productive ability, his economic judgment - and on the voluntary agreement of all those he deals with: his customers, his suppliers, his employees, his creditors or investors. A bureaucrat’s success depends on his political pull." - Ayn Rand

It is antithetical to a businessperson in the open marketplace.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
