Amen to that. Bean counters and MBAs (yeah, I know, I'm repeating myself) ruin everything they touch, blindly chasing constant rapid growth. But the line DOESN'T have to keep going up forever. I wish more companies operated based on that premise. You DON'T need to monopolize the market, you DON'T need to exceed your quarterly profits every single quarter until the heat death of the universe, there IS such thing as enough money...
I wish I lived in a world like that. It might be slightly less convenient, maybe with slightly fewer choices, but I think it would be a much happier place.
What we’re seeing now is one of Gandhi’s dangers of the modern world: commerce without morality. Blame Milton Friedman.
