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.

-Onetti,Juan Carlos
  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.

-Robinson, Edwin Arlington
