“The free enterprise concept inherent in the economic model of capitalism should mean common people, or lower and middle class wage-earners, have greater potential to rise up and gain financial independence.

The view that risk is dependent on both the nature of investments and on their market price is very different from that described by beta.” DifferentLossViewsClearCuttingRiskSecurityDependsGainsConnectionsPaidInvestmentInvestingFinancialVariousOutcomesDependentInvestorsInherentMarketplaceFinancial MarketsBeta Author:Seth Klarman
