If the massive success of air travel in the US, which Boeing is a part of, is a product of 21st-century capitalism, THEN SIGN ME UP FOR MORE OF THAT!
This article seems a bit myopic.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoYou should try travelling around another continent, it might be a bit of an eye-opener.
- blub 7y agoThe massive success was in the 20th century, the 21st has been a massive annoyance because of the loss of rights and privacy. The interesting thing to me is that Boeing seems to have completely failed to restrain management pressure to perform economically and went right past the acceptable performance boundary (dynamic safety model). Even an allegedly high reliability organization was not able to escape bean counting in the end. It would seem that capitalism's typical obsession with profit can't be reconciled with reliability on the long term.
- nwah1 7y agoCorporations and capitalism are different things. Capitalism is composed of a constant churn of organizations which are all failing at different rates. The point is that the system as a whole is not reliant upon the continual success of any of them. In a planned economy, the entire system depends on a single institution remaining competent indefinitely.
