Do you think universities today often are founded or run by men like this?

I knew the history of the "Acres of Diamonds" speech. But as with most histories, it was distorted. I thought the speech said that "Everyone can become rich." That is not its real message. It is that "Everyone has resources he does not know or recognize, but if he does recognize them, he can do better."

Thank you for posting this. It is a "keeper."

In the late 1800s, the Golden Age of Capitalism. Acres of Diamonds is probably still being preached, but things have changed. Drastically.
