Features: If we remove 100 powerful people, 100 wealthy people, and 100 famous people from their current positions, away from their relationships and money, away from the mass media currently focused on them, then these people would become powerless, penniless, and without fame. Therefore, power does not belong to individuals, wealth does not concentrate among the rich, and fame is not an inherent attribute of personality. To achieve fame, to accumulate wealth, and to wield power, one must enter the major institutions. Because the position an individual holds within an institution largely determines their opportunities to acquire and firmly grasp these valuable experiences.
