​ The New Class of Billionaires

from The Generations Radio Program · host Generations

They come in like a storm and they burn out like a bad rocket. These billionaires are the wrong guys to change the world, but they somehow think they will succeed. We consider the worldviews of these insta-billionaires churned out of the tech industry over the last 15 years. Is this a scientific experiment that's going badly wrong? Or is this a bad ego trip? Or did this get-rich-quick scheme get way out of hand? We point out profound differences between the old billionaires that developed an Industrial Age which upped the average household income ten-fold, and the new Information Age that is deconstructing our world.
