The prejudice is not in me, but in the author of the original essay.
There are entrepreneurs who have led companies to provide great value for their customers, employees, and stockholders, and entrepreneurs who have led companies straight into the ground. There are doctors who work heroically and insightfully to save lives and there are doctors who are more interested in satisfying their God complex than actually caring for patients. There are lawyers who help right the injustices of the world and lawyers who just look for excuses to run up their bills.
I don’t see why we should assume, a priori, that fewer bright and ambitious people in business and more in law or medicine will be a net social loss.
