The Economist article describes the rude attitudes I encountered looking for capital for my business the last couple of years.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about having money that makes those who do think they can say and do whatever they like to those who don't?
Throughout my career I've observed that the least aware people (I could have chosen a much nastier description) are those who are the most rude when things go their way, as well as the first to try to be nice when they're in trouble. Fortunately they are easy to spot and I do my best to avoid them.
