entrepreneur quotes

  • Es asombroso ver en que   se puede convertir la revolucio  n rusa a trave  s del cerebro de un comerciante yanqui; basta ver las fotos de las revistas norteamericanas, nada ma  s que las fotos porque no se leerlas, para comprender que nohay pueblo ma  s imbe  cil que e  se sobre la tierra; no puede haberlo porque tambie  n la capacidad de estupidez es limitada en la raza humana. It's astonishing to see what the Russian Revolution can become thanks to the brain of aYankee entrepreneur; you only have to see the photos in North American magazines, only the photos because I can't read them, to realize they're the most stupid people on earth; that's quite possible because even the human race has a limited potential for idiocy.

    -Juan Carlos Onetti
      El pozo (translated as The Pit,1991).

  • The typical entrepreneur is no longer the bold and tireless man of Marshall, or the sly and rapacious Moneybags of Marx, but a mass of inert shareholders, indistinguishable from rentiers, who employ salaried managers to run their concerns.

    - Edwin Arlington Robinson
      An Essay on Marxian Economics.
