Making a living by giving away free stuff?

From : Hugh McLeod, www.gapingvoid.com. You can buy an original print here.

Interesting drawing from Hugh McLeod that I received in his daily newsletter at the exact same time as The Economist wrote an article on the "free" business applied to the management consulting sector.

Read the complete and thought-provoking article here: "Free Thinking", The Economist, September 9, 2010.

NB.: Special kudo to this sentence that I believe will outlive the original article and keep on nourrishing the mutual sympathy that investment bankers and management consultants have for each other:

"Many graduates join consultancies and put up with being merely affluent—instead of joining investment banks and becoming obscenely rich—for the intellectual stimulation that consulting seems to offer."
