A better planet
A banker believes that moving money is the oil that keeps the engine running. He justifies taking the entire value of the property on a 30yr, 5.3% interest rate mortgage, by the risk exposure of the lender. A sales person believes that networking is the most valuable asset for a company as it is the source of revenue and without revenue we know what the destiny of any company would be.
Our society accepts these claims as legitimate.
It rewards the banker and the sales person in a disproportionate manner compared to the inventors, scientists and innovators without whom we would not have sent a rocket to the moon, discovered penicillin, came up with the theory of relativity or simply built the company's product.
