But who is doing the more useful thing — an entrepreneur who starts a company and creates employment, a doctor who works tirelessly to care for sick patients, a charity worker who assists the needy and vulnerable, or a protester who squats in a tent outside the Central Bank for two months with no clear purpose or plan?
