The GREATEST Capitalist Who Ever Lived. Who Would That BE? It Sure Isn't IBM's 'Tom Watson Jr.'

Click to ENLARGE. 'Amazon' listing for book.

As a proud ex-IBMer I listened to this book, ardently, last year. I joined IBM just after he retired. But, of course, I knew who he was. Even as I listened I knew that the TITLE was dated. 'Tom Watson' IS NOT -- CANNOT BE -- the Greatest Capitalist Who Ever Lived.

For a start, he didn't create IBM. His father did.

Plus, today, IBM (alas) is a mere SHADOW of what it was in his time.

So, who IS THE GREATEST CAPITALIST who ever lived.

For NOW, we can be sure that it would a MAN (though that can change in the future).

Some names that cross my mind 'Elon Musk', 'Jeff Bezos', 'Steve Jobs', 'Bill Gates', 'Warren Buffett', 'Mark Zuckerberg', 'Jensen Huang' ....

I can't be sure. Maybe it is a banker, venture capitalist or AI guy.

All I can be sure is that it is NOT Tom Watson Jr.

What do YOU think?

Who would YOU nominate?

Fun thing to ponder.
