I recall listening to an interview with a psychologist who made a special study of psychopaths, but it was a long while back so I don't recall the details, except that he noted that most rich corporate types definitely fit the mold.

    In a similar vein, I vaguely remember a sociological tract detailing the value of psychopathy in ye olden times (think at the tribal level) as they both want power and are willing to make the hard choices that others might be too empathetic to do.

    But their continued existence and proliferation among certain sectors (business, politics, religion) has become a detriment.
