Quote by Karl Marx

Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.

Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that there is more profit to be made by keeping someone dependent on your goods or services rather than empowering them with knowledge and self-sufficiency. By teaching someone to fish, they can become self-reliant and no longer require your assistance or products, which could potentially harm your own business interests. It highlights the notion that some individuals or entities may prioritize their own financial gains over the long-term well-being and independence of others.
