“I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism - where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs - is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we're talking about. There aren't many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema.” WayCultureAsksLiteratureGivenTalkingIndustryHeroCostCapitalismTheaterFinancialPopsCinemaTrendsFree MarketPop CultureFree Market Capitalism Author:Martin Scorsese
“In order to write about the machine you have to know it, to live with it, to love it (or hate it). I think that true writing could be done on industrial subjects by people who work in industry, who are firmly linked with it. But ... and here is the opposite 'but', the technology of literary craftsmanship is itself a very fine and complex matter. Qualified specialists from industry prove themselves dilettantes in the field of literature. The needed synthesis is not yet in sight.” PeopleThinkingKnowsInspirationalWritingArtMatterDoneHateOrderLiteratureTechnologySubjectsFieldsFineIndustryNeededProveMachinesOppositesSightComplexesLinkedQualifiedSpecialistsSynthesisCraftsmanshipDilettantes Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin
