Finance provides the value of liquidity - ensuring that those that need money have the opportunity to connect with those that have money to invest.<p>Startups provide the value of coming up with new quality of life options for society.<p>Given that financiers have stopped adding real value and instead have introduced new risks, I don&#x27;t see the two groups as contributing the same way.  Thousands of startups that try and fail are still more valuable to society than people creating artificial opportunities to make the rich richer and society to bail out failures.
