I think you have a rose-tinted view of what old-timey businesses looked like. We moved past mom-and-pop subsistence industry like 400 years ago. No one ever said “I’m going to create a sheet metal production company for the common good.”
- ballooney 6y agoYou’re very wrong.
- willis936 6y agoCould you point to examples that support the existence of this alternate history of which I've never heard of?
- centimeter 6y agoTo be clear, you are asking for examples of historical companies that were profit motivated?
- ballooney 6y agoNo you’re confused. He’s asking for a history in which there is no company motivated by anything other than profit. Since there exist many companies motivated by things other than profit, no such history can be provided. Hence the GP is wrong. Hence the irrelevance of downvotes on this cunty website
