Journalist Jon Ronson’s new book “The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry” explains that as a part of the book research found that the incidence of psychopathy among CEOs is about 4 percent, four times what it is in the population at large.
Ronson recounts how Al Dunlap (“Chainsaw” Al Dunlap, former CEO of Sunbeam and professional company downsizer) was able to redifine items on the clinical rating scale for psychopathy into a manual of how to do well in capitalism.
Ronson offers an insight that the way capitalism is structured really is a physical manifestation of the brain anomaly known as psychopathy.
