It’s no secret that Americans love to hear about billionaires. You’ll find them everywhere. They’re on the news [Bezos space launch], have their own TV shows, movies, and even make their way to elected office. Specifically, we consistently give massive audiences to “self-made” billionaires, the people who, unlike the aristocrats and monarchs of yore, didn’t simply inherit their wealth. In this episode, we’re talking about the obsession with so-called “self-made” billionaires, how misleading that term can be, and everything wrong with the myth of the “self-made person.” Support Second Thought on Patreon.
