| Abstract: | When you ask people why they work, most will tell you, in a tone usually reserved for slow children and dim-witted in-laws, that they do it for the money. But if that's entirely true, how do you explain people like Warren Buffett or Bill Gates, whose combined net worth is greater than the GDP of Luxembourg and yet who throw themselves into their jobs as if their next meal depended on it? Or why do so many lottery winners, after a few months of champagne, oysters, and a suite at the Ritz, end up punching a clock card again, if not at their old job, at some other kind of work? |
