Not all entrepreneurs want to squeeze people and pay as little as possible. Henry Ford wanted to make sure Ford employees made enough money to buy Ford cars, and in doing this he helped create the amazing middle class of 20th century America. Today there are many Henry Fords in business, smaller and less visible, but in essence absolutely following the same principle. Silicon Valley is home to the corfe philosophy that says you must try to attract bright, imaginative people, pay them well and share the value of your enterprise, and in order to retain them you must give them ample opportunity to grow and flourish. The old east coast world of long shadows and hierarchies and fear systems hates silicon valley for this reason. It attracts many people away to much higher pay, away from the dusty cubicles of go-nowhere sweatshops in banking, retail, healthcare and insurance.
