GG: Gould & competition
Dear All,
Has anyone else noted the contradiction in GG's attitude to competition? He
loathed competitive behaviour and believed all forms of competition to be
inherently corrupting; and yet, throughout his life, it is noted that he
played the stock market -- the prime expression of capitalist competition
-- extremely successfully....
Another Gould oddity.
Regards, Alun
