The Genius From Dunfermline

The Puumaja Crew is today feeling reassured that it's ok to like Andrew Carnegie, the emigre Scot who effectively WAS the US steel industry there for a good while and was the second richest man in history according to some reports (Rockefeller was the richest). The moderator's mother had in fact told him that he was 'horrible to his workers' without elaborating.

The seal of approval comes from our older brother Seth Godin who tells us today that Carnegie realised the value of people over infrastructure, capital, process, culture etc. something that in our experience has been lacking in every place we've worked, big or small. And we guess, unless your name's Rockefeller you're not in much of a position to question that!
