It's all about the benjamins

How interesting that we should read a CE about Mark Zuckerberg's altruism right before we study the birth of entrepreneurial greed in Europe.


With increased industrialization came a new capitalist spirit as members of middle class sought to take financial risks, resulting in an increase in sophisticated business tools, such as banks, the stock market, and business conglomerates. Many familiar companies that exist today were kick started during this time period. Levi's, Citibank, and Coca-Cola. This was a great time to be in the middle class - there was ample opportunity for social mobility.  All this disposable income meant that you could go shopping, attend the opera, or check out new inventions at the Great Exhibition. 


It is Thursday evening, so we hope that you enjoy your time off from pressing schoolwork to complete. Bored and need things to do?
  • Look up gifts for the homebody in your life. 
  • What's your dominant emotion?
  • Watch this Filipino kid Whip and Nae Nae better than you probably can

Here's a scene from one of my favorite movies as a child, Jingle All the Way.
