Confession: having minor involvement in one revolution, you quickly understand that overthrowing a government is rather easy if you have the money to encourage the right parties and knowledge of the forces inside the country jockeying for position. Of course this is much easier in unstable governments.

I’ve largely bought companies and the strategy is the same. When I was young I was not above fomenting that conflict and loss of confidence in the management and owners, or spreading rumors in the supply chain and financial netowrk, so that I could rather quickly buy the company on the cheap.

Yeah. I grew up. But when you’re in your twenties it’s a power trip. And it sure paid well.

You’d think it was difficult to overthrow a government, but all human organizations are fragile if you find the lever that takes advantage of that fragility.
