I have read both„ you should look at paretos law. The top 20% control 80 % of the resources.. the top 1%
control 40%„ howver this refers to ants colonies„ termite farms„ beehives.. any time there are social animals in
a mix. There is always a bottom, zipfs law, is another example. stiglitz is not writing on economics , he is
writing on politics. He ignores computers, he ignores productivity. Your lenient lion survives , in a world of
kindness, generousity, altruism and fair play.. I enjoy your insights and appreciate your views on what a world
could be, however I currently find myself living in a world that is.

J,
Your comments that inevitably the most ruthless is the richest, and that lenient lion will be eaten alive, have
been swirling in my mind. They are very vivid. It is because you know so many of them so well that one
cannot refute you. These comments struck the foundation of my idealism.
I would like to share the attached articles with you. All four are great writings, but the relevant ones to our
discussion are by Stiglitz and by Brkic.
What Stiglitz talks about is not new. Much of the statistics are common knowledge to you and me. But the
point is what he writes at the end. Ultimately, what is good for the general mass is also good the fortunate 1%.
Do we realize that?
Brkic's article is a my for human decency. We too often knowingly fall into the mental trap that as long as we
do not actively participate in a crime we are not guilty. We become willing passive bystander of a crime.
I think both articles have a lot of relevance to what we discussed this afternoon. I hope you may have time to
read over these two articles during your flight to Aspen, as I am doing now.
See you soon.

*Ott: *6
I'm delighted to share the readings for the two Mini-Seminars at ACT ll 2011.
Please see the attached PDF which includes all four readings; two readings for the seminar on July 7th and
two readings for the seminar on July 9th.
As always, please complete the readings before you arrive in Aspen.
Also, please remember to print a hard copy of these readings and bring them with you to ACT H. We are not
encouraging the use of laptops, iPads or other e-readers in the seminar room. We want to maximize eye
contact and minimize distractions at the table.
We'll get you your specific seminar location in the final logistics e-mail about a week before ACT II. It will
also be printed on the backside of your name badge.
Let me know if you have any questions about the readings or in general about ACT II.
Looking forward to seeing you in just under a month!
Thanks,
Tom
