Business icons, moguls, tycoons – the people who create and master industries, bringing them to their fullest fruition – are usually many different things to different people. To some they are exemplars and saints who show us that democratic capitalism creates innovation and economic well-being. To others, they are villains and demonstrate all that is wrong in a system that tolerates and even seemingly encourages economic disparity between the top and bottom rungs of the socioeconomic ladder.
