Talking about entrepreneurship, I came across this article on Newsweek this morning about a trend where students start their own business while in schoolI look around and see losers and people who make things happen. Anyone can start a business, carve a niche, be creative.
Since Anthony mentioned me and making website, I just want to make few comments. It's extremely easy for anyone to have a website, a blog or any web presence. It's also a proven fact that majority of these websites will fail to attract audience so if making money is the sole purpose out of starting a website, it's destined to fail from the start.People can make websites (Andy) and become a knowledge leader.
I would have to disagree to an extent with your sentiment. A society where one man becomes infinitely rich and the other infinitely poor will not survive on just the sentiment that they both had equal opportunities. And telling the man who became poor to "suck it up" and "stop being a baby" most likely will do little to appease him, and will eventually lead to the destruction of said society in the long run.
One of the primary duties (perhaps in some sense the only duty?) of government is to create a habitable society, and a "reasonable" sense of economic equality between the lucky/talented and the not so much so is a major part of the term "habitable", especially under capitalism. Like it or not.
I cannot comment on where on the spectrum of "economical inequality" America currently lies, I do not feel I am qualified to do so. However, the individual that wrote that article appears to be well qualified...
Edit: I just read Domini's post in full and holy crap I thought what I had to say was controversial... lol...
Not really. Once you are in the job market, you better make the max of what you have (skills, education, GPA, network...). Some people are successful even graduating with low GPA, from an average program,... Some people are even successful without education or after dropping out (think Bill Gates, Michael Dell,..)Ehhh...I believe that so long as people understand they had a chance and blew it, they'd have nothing to stand on. But nowadays, when you hear stories of alums from your alma mater who got way lower GPAs and by any stretch of the imagination, would be in the same boat as you are (if not worse), yet they're ahead and you're forced to twiddle your thumbs...
100%. I would probably make it: "Equality of income is communism"Lack of opportunity is a much bigger issue than lack of equality. Equality of opportunity is capitalism. Equality of outcome is communism.
