4. job is fundamentally created by demand, not by bosses.

bosses have a direct hand in the endeavor, obviously, but mostly they are just responding to demand, and then spending their time figuring out how they can keep on as few employees as possible and pay them as little as possible.

little credit is given to inventors and discoverers unless they happen to also run the businesses.

research scientists, government agencies, statesmen, and so on often spawn huge industries that hire tons of people. but for some reason only the bosses get credit.

john von neumann was effectively one of the founders of computer science. how many people does that industry employ?

tim berners-lee created the world wide web. how many people does that industry employ?
but no, the credit goes to people like google founders larry page and sergey brin.


in the uk, people who need a ride say they "hire" a cab. that's job creation. i have a demand for goods or services, i pay for them. the owner of the cab company isn't the one really creating the job.
