Capitalism made it possible to acquire vast empires without violence. I offer to you as Exhibit A, my pal and idol, Warren Buffett. He started this world with excellent connections and a stupefying intellect and an ability to work breathtakingly hard and to see the essence of things very quickly.
He also liked money a lot, although not the things many people worship about money. Especially he did not care about the ability to buy things and people. He did not start out rich. Mr. Buffett amassed an empire far more rewarding than Genghis Khan’s. Mr. Buffett is an amazingly smart man. This is a great system and let’s hope that there are enough people who want to gain from it to offset the people who want to destroy it out of envy, so writes Ben Stein in
The American Spectator.
