  • The Rent Act was an institutionalized expropriation of private property. Democracies have a weakness: If a bad law has enough money or people behind it, it stays on the books. This allows the perpetual continuation of the most absurd, unreasonable practices. In America I can walk into a gun show and buy a handgun for less than the price of a good dinner for two, even if I am insane or a convicted criminal. In Bombay I can walk into a flat I’ve rented for a year and stay there for the rest of my life, pass it on to my sons after me, and defy the lawful proprietor’s efforts to get my ass off his property. In both instances, I have the law behind me.

Quotes

“

You learned about the training program at Dean Wittier while you were working as a medical supply salesman. How did you get admitted into that highly competitive program? A. Persistence! At first I kept hearing the same words. "No, no, no." But I kept coming back, showing up. Dean Witter was noncomittal. They were like, "Well, we don't know, not right now." But they allowed me to come back for informational interviews. Those are invaluable opportunities for both employee and employer to learn about each other. It took me a year until I got into the program.
