Nothing compares to this master work script in series that I have seen. The dialogue is a fascinating group language.

This isn't about the father alone but in a group. Logan Roy exists in the context of a company and in a family group. His identity is communal in that what he does or doesn't do is always public. He is a social entity. He has no internal life. Because he is nothing but the social he is a sociopath. His children are sociopaths. His brother is right. He is so meager because he lacks an interior self.

When Logan describes his father at his funeral, he says he was a life force who created money that employed people. That is a definition of a capitalist. This series explains capitalism If you want to succeed and make money, you need to be a socioparh.
