I always liked John D Rockefeller Sr. Doesn't every businessman have a self-serving history?
“Liked JDR”
Why? Did you know him?
or just accepted the ‘stories’ about him ....
I was thinking about DuBeers and Rhoades and how the diamond market is managed to create a scarcity
Something similar with oil?
“Doesn’t every businessman have a self-serving history?”
You can generalize that even further. Doesn’t every human have a self interest history?
Everything any human does (including you) is for his self interest, as he understands it. And it’s not always about money.
Think about what is important to you and you’ll discover what your self interests are.
