I don’t claim to understand Fitzgerald’s quote. I thought America was known as the place where people *could* reinvent themselves. We give people — or they take — second chances. If they’re successful, we may not like them, but we grudgingly admire them. We revere success.

I think Hugh’s comment about Fitzgerald being a “fool” was meant for shock appeal and a touch of humor at the end of the article. A little playful hero-bashing is healthy.

I suggest to read Chanakya’s principles of Economics.
