When Business Leaders Discovered Their Secret Weapon
A curious pattern emerged in Silicon Valley boardrooms and Wall Street corner offices: executives kept returning to the same philosophical text. Peter Thiel recommended it. John Allison built a banking empire on its principles. Yet most business books gathering dust on these same shelves offered nothing but tactical advice-how to optimize supply chains, boost quarterly earnings, or master the latest management fad. This collection asked something far more fundamental: Do you have the moral right to profit from your work? The question wasn't academic. In a culture that celebrates entrepreneurs in theory while vilifying them in practice, business leaders found themselves defenseless against accusations they couldn't quite answer. Why are successful businesspeople treated as villains despite creating prosperity? What gives anyone the right to pursue profit? These essays don't just defend capitalism-they transform how we understand wealth creation itself.
