About this Quote

This quote by Carroll O'Connor speaks to the unequal circulation of wealth in a capitalist society. It recommends that those who are able to create capital, such as Michael Eisner, are offered disproportionately big benefits for their efforts. This suggests that those who are able to develop capital have the ability to reap the benefits of their effort, while those who are unable to produce capital are left behind. This quote highlights the unequal nature of capitalism, where those with the resources and knowledge to create capital have the ability to gain the benefits, while those without the resources or knowledge are left behind. This quote functions as a reminder of the need for a more equitable distribution of wealth in a capitalist society.
