Well, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. The point I was trying to make is that the big and successful names in American industry were less like Aaron Feuerstein and more like Steve Jobs.

"The point I was trying to make is that the big and successful names in American industry were less like Aaron Feuerstein and more like Steve Jobs."

And I disagree that that was the case. Ford, Edison, Westinghouse, Morgan, etc. were none of them like todays MBA-driven businessmen, whose only goal is to add $0.02 to the stock price, no matter what the means used, and no matter the effects that doing so will have on their employees or their customers. They were FAR more like Feuerstein than Jobs.
