Look at where the economy was during the salad days of Warren Buffett and tell me honestly that his suite of companies did as much for the US economy and productivity as the Kleiner Perkins tech portfolio. You remember the 70s and 80s, right? Remember the article on the cover of Fortune in the late 80s - "100 things America does best"... in other words this business publication had to think hard to come up with 100 things that came out of the US economy which were superior than anything out of Japan or Germany. Where was Buffett in all of this? There are countless papers out of HBS that attribute the tech economy with the revitalization of the US and to trivialize that at this point is the most severe cynicism.
