An insightful article from the Atlantic. Not fascinating, but a good read that kills a fair amount of time at work :P
"F. Scott Fitzgerald was right when he declared the rich different from you and me. But today’s super-rich are also different from yesterday’s: more hardworking and meritocratic, but less connected to the nations that granted them opportunity—and the countrymen they are leaving ever further behind."--blurb

Couldn't get past the 3rd page.
It is the Atlantic. They tend to be a little....long winded would be putting in nicely.
I wish people would approve whenever I did basic math (hints at woman making tax calculation).
what a geek. is this what investment bankers spend their long hours doing? reading elitist magazines and going on online forums?
got bored of article after 2nd page.
Am I the only feeling intense rage at the women complaining about 10m a year?
I am just thinking you dumb b*tch your not making any of this money and are way too dumb and lazy to ever make that kinda money and you complain about only 10m a year? jesus christ
what on earth makes you think i would ever want to do that homie lol
interesting article
FYI, I'm not an investment banker yet. Just a student working an office job over the winter break. That's the only reason I have time to be on this forum right now, haha.
Secondly, the Atlantic is a great publication, and is much less elitist than the New Yorker, which is also a great publication (albeit left leaning, sometimes infuriatingly so). Though the former has gotten worse over the years.
Who the fuck reads the Atlantic?
The Atlantic is one of the most respected American Magazines! They have good writers who are relatively intelligent compared to say, a TIME magazine writer. Sure, sometimes their writers seem misinformed about specific subjects (every publication, from the economist to the WSJ to the FT gets this), and sometimes they are very left leaning (I've always been strongly libertarian), but I find the writing abilities and intelligence of the writer to be the most important thing, because one should always be reading commentary magazines with a critical eye, anyways. I can disagree fiercely with an author's viewpoint, note his factual inaccuracies, and even find flaws in his logic without discrediting an author's intelligence. I read the Atlantic not necessarily because I agree with everything in it, but because it is usually well written, and because reading it and considering it holistically with publications like The New Yorker, the Economist, the WSJ, and FT, one finds out a lot about what "intelligent," well educated Americans these days are thinking like. Regardless of one's own opinions, I feel like that's a good thing to know.
global elite....people with so much money and power that they can run shit with no oversight. So, that's a cool place to be in life. Originates from the 'power elite' of a century ago.....
How about you guys stop having delusions of grandeur about the "power elite" and go outside
