I apologize. I don’t understand your premise. Not sure what your point is, and thus not able to form a decent response.

I apologize. I don’t understand your premise. Not sure what your point is ...

You posted an image file at § 17, and I attempted to reply to the Rand quote. Of course I am an admirer of Rand's, but I was provoked to counterpost as a comment that, whereas Rand's businessman does not require people to suffer or to live in want (I can't grep and copy, so this is my paraphrase), it is the overwhelming practice of American business to run up working hours demanded by employers, and to gloat about it in the pages of Harvard Business Review (I vividly remember one 1994 article in particular, in which employers were conjoined to drive their employees, down to the pink-collar level, to frantic levels of "productivity" as if they were proprietors and not hourly hands).

So I asked, how're those Randian principia doing these days in the boardroom?

No great challenge implied, other than to note that the Malefactors of Great Wealth have rejected them in favor of a more Dickensian arrangement.
