He boasts that "Monsanto's net contribution to ... unemployment . . . was nil," since he never laid off a man during Depression, has twice as many people working for him now as in 1931. Satisfied, too, is Monsanto's Queeny that the firm's market is so diversified that no more than about 10% of Monsanto...
