Go, Go, Go!

It is a sunny day in Zagreb and its streets are awash with gigantic posters of a Mr Jack Welch. He will teach leadership and, as I heard him on TV, his are the golden words of advice like 'If you don't have the edge - don't compete.'

Do his prospect pupils really know there's at least one guy teaching on Freud at the Philosophy Faculty each year? I think I could even almost prove it would be more useful for them to know there is a subconscious part of them.

Probably the best part I find to be the imagined answer of one of the followers how you really learn a lot. Well, lock me up with a medical case for 5 hours and I assure you I would learn something.

And how I love their frenzy! In their 20s or 30s, they are healthy, yet, and completely lured in a sect that adores success. They undoubtedly have their life policies, maybe even invest in funds, cause, hey, the yields are better.
Little do they know they are at the same time helping kill their parents or health-fading grandparents because of inadequate state care. But, after all, these farts were stupid enough to build all this country possesses and ignored the fact the systems were bound to fail.

Last time I witnesses such feeble propaganda was during the throes of communism. The posters also screamed about reducing consumption and the inalienable workers' rights. Now, since I know our Constitution actually enshrines private property and the spirit of individual entrepreneurship as values - I invite you to make the parallel.

It would be kind of fun to try to argue that free market represents - in contrast with the contrived economy of socialism, for all that it really does not work - a defeat of human reason. To leave it all to beneficial adjustment of chaos? Hell, yeah!

Statistics say 6 per cent of venturers manage to get rid of the needy constraints of money. The rest are 'losers.' I have never yet seen a winner and I sure doubt there is one.
