What Paul Graham actually said

  1. Paul Graham Co-founder of Y Combinator and Viaweb
    The way to win at capitalism is to focus on what it actually does (make customers' lives better) rather than the socialist caricature of it (squeeze every penny out of them). The latter gets you 2x returns at best, whereas making new things for people can get you 10x.
