&gt;Perhaps it&#x27;s because he works in the financial industry?<p>It could be. There is definitely an adversarial relationship between owners and employees (both are competing for the same pie, in most models) and I&#x27;m comfortable guessing that many in the finance industry (including the industry media) identify more strongly with owners than employees. If such an identity is stronger, it&#x27;s more than reasonable to expect that those with that identity will show undue bias towards those who seem to have a similar identity and against those who may be viewed as a type of adversary.<p>The industry appears to be founded on the idea of all profits flowing to owners. It seems reasonable that the industry would generally reject alternative models with little thought.
