I used to call this "Kapitalism." It's a very different thing from entrepreneur-maker capitalism.

I've lived on the East and now the West coasts, and the manager caste ideology of the East is clearly why the West has completely dominated in innovative business sectors. Boston and Cambridge should be Silicon Valley and almost was, but the mentality killed it. Being a maker and a doer actually pegs you as a lower class, or at least that's the mentality I ran into.

I actually had people there tell me I should not "do." "Executives don't do anything." Direct quote.
