GG: Gould & competition

[Alun Severn <alun@ukiah.demon.co.uk>]

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
