I can't disagree. I think having billionaires in a society exposes some kind of serious flaw in their governance.

I've seen some complaints that we have too many MBAs, as if the billionaires are trained thus. I don't know about that. An MBA teaches you about the elements of business, economics, finance, marketing, accounting, risk management, dealing with personal, statistics, and management, putting all the elements together to make good decisions.

It doesn't teach you to be greedy, to undercut your competition, or to abuse your employees. That's something of the character of billionaires.

I do see a slippage of the government's personal ethics however. As business depends upon making good financial and marketing decisions, I think public service depends upon ethics. The foundation is there, the oath of office. But the oath is no longer enforced.
