“. . . kids who get to watch their parents work up close - the way kids did in the pre-Industrial Revolution, cottage industry days - are likely to have a much greater appreciation of how the world of work operates. . . .

” . . . people who are self-employed are far more aware that there’s no such thing as a free lunch and far more likely to look at the bottom line.”
And also:
“The secret to success in big business and politics in the twenty-first century, I think, will involve figuring out a way to capitalize on the phenomenon of lots of people doing what they want to do, rather than - as in previous centuries - figuring out ways to make lots of people do what you want them to.”
So far, I like it. It isn’t the kind of reading that makes me want to stay up late to read it, but I’ve enjoyed reading it whenever I’ve had a chance the past couple days.
