Entrepreneur of Ideas
The CEO was overjoyed. He was in the middle of negotiating a hostile takeover and a leveraged buy out of a couple of companies that in the short term would make him billions of bucks. Let's see, he said, rubbing his palms together,
can I make this deal in two moves or less? Can I make the Fortune 500 list by the end of the week? In a series of teleconferences, which he watched on a flat screen in front of him, he played three dimensional entrepreneurial chess. First the S & L
loan. Then the buy out. Then the sell. Then the move to another state. And finally the move to Mexico where people work for 63 cents an hour at American operated maquiladora plants. An unlimited exploitable labor market. Eighty-five million Mexican
consumers will want to buy my goods with my name on them, he said out loud to himself. I should do more insider trading. And so he did, from the inside of Club Fed.
