993: Let Them Speak #1
Crony Capitalism and Silicon Valley Arrogance
Pieczenik criticizes the shift from traditional entrepreneurship to "crony capitalism" and the "obscene" valuations of Silicon Valley startups. He describes Google and Amazon as fascist organizations that produce little of inherent value while controlling public discourse. He contrasts the "spoiled brats" of the tech industry with the work ethic found in the rural South and Midwest.
