“The brilliant creative core of capitalism ... is the story the entrepreneurs and capital investors tell themselves about the future. How they intend to alter it, what they expect to gain in return, where they will raise the capital to accomplish their vision.

It's the combination of the high and the low that I thought was very cool. But I had no concept of it as a kid.”
