Andrew Ross Sorkin

So by the way, that really goes back to the late 1930s and 1940.

You know, the idea was we only wanted the wealthy to be able to have opportunities to invest in private companies because they were the only ones that we thought should be prepared to lose the money.

And we didn't want the little guy to lose the money.

Here we are now in, you know, 2025.

And there's a lot of folks saying, you know,

I want the access.

I want the opportunity.

And, you know, sometimes, like, I remember, Chamath, you and I probably talked about this years ago.

I remember I'd either talk about, like, GameStop or some of these other companies and tell people, you know, oh, you got to be careful, guys.

This could go wrong.

I said that a little bit about the SPAC-y stuff and some other things.

And people are like, Sorkin, stop it.

You're not protecting me.

You're protecting the man, right?

You're protecting the man.

It's a regulatory capture.

It's a very interesting concept.

So anyway, I haven't come up with a neat answer about that, but I do think about it a lot.

Okay.

So there's a whole bunch of characters, but I'd say there's two main characters in this book that really drive the storyline.
