Erik Shatzer Bloomberg why TV when he seems so smart
I like to watch Erik Shatzer on Bloomberg and he really seems to know the investment world. But I was wondering what drives him to put so many hours into being on TV when with his investment knowledge he should be able to make much more money? I guess it it is the same thing that drives celebrities to go on even after they have millions, they must love what they do ....

Not sure about the book, but he has a degree in journalism.
I have come across many very bright people, for example in the information technology profession. I usually ask them have they ever come up with any interesting use of what they know to start their own business. They almost always reply that no they have not! They are just a worker bee and have not applied any energy to applying what they know other than what someone else asks them to do!
My daughter is taking a Psychology test today and she is going to write an essay on Milgram's obedience experiment. I guess we are prone to following orders and it is no wonder creative people are so highly compensated.
"Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority" (Milgram, 1974).
