Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The story of Martin Shkreli is a prime example of how not to make money. He started his own hedge fund, betting that the stock prices of certain biotech companies would drop. But instead of using his knowledge to help people, he used it to help himself and his investors make money.
#2 Martin Shkreli is a good example of how people who don’t follow the norms of society still manage to succeed. He is smart and driven, but he also believes that the laws don’t apply to him.
#3 The idea of the common good was once widely accepted in America. But today, many people are selfish and only care about themselves.
#4 The common good is no longer a fashionable idea. It is rarely uttered today, not even by commencement speakers and politicians. It feels slightly corny and antiquated.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The story of Martin Shkreli is a prime example of how not to make money. He started his own hedge fund, betting that the stock prices of certain biotech companies would drop. But instead of using his knowledge to help people, he used it to help himself and his investors make money.

#2

Martin Shkreli is a good example of how people who don’t follow the norms of society still manage to succeed. He is smart and driven, but he also believes that the laws don’t apply to him.

#3

The idea of the common good was once widely accepted in America. But today, many people are selfish and only care about themselves.

#4

The common good is no longer a fashionable idea. It is rarely uttered today, not even by commencement speakers and politicians. It feels slightly corny and antiquated.

#5

Wells Fargo was not the only bank to put millions of its customers’ deposits into credit card and bank accounts they did not request. As a result, these customers had to pay an extra $50 million to borrow money.

#6

The common good is a moral attitude that recognizes that we are all in it together. It is the opposite of the attitude of business magnate and social media personality Martin Shkreli, who believed that the only thing we have in common is our shared hatred of the government.

#7

Without voluntary adherence to a set of common notions about right and wrong, daily life would be unbearable. We would be living in a jungle where only the strongest, cleverest, and most wary could hope to survive.

#8

We depend on people’s willingness to abide by laws, which is why it would be chaos if no one did. Without a shared sense of responsibility to the common good, officials have no way to make these decisions other than their own selfish interests.
