> I do not have a problem with making money. Or helping companies do so. I know that this is the center piece of capitalism. Great if you provide added value with your offering but making money is paying our mortgage in the end. Exactly! Why do we have to pretend we have a goal other than making money without compromising our principles? The best way to make money and keep on doing so is to give people something that is worth spending their money on. A good product at a fair price isn't healing the world, but it's not breaking anyone's leg either. I wonder if a lot of this goes back to early 20th-century businessmen who tried to apply Transcendentalist thought to business, promoting unity and loyalty by creating a feeling of a noble cause in their employees (Charles Ives, an insurance executive and composer, is the example I'm most familiar with).
