So if 1000 people profit, that's not motivation, but if 1 person profits that is? Do companies with more shareholders seek profit less than single-owner entitie

So if 1000 people profit, that's not motivation, but if 1 person profits that is? Do companies with more shareholders seek profit less than single-owner entities? It seems the contrary that when founder-owned companies become more widely owned they become far more profit led.

- jojobas 4y agoThe more you redistribute the more you remove the incentive to produce value.
- nicoburns 4y agoThat's also true the less you redistribute at the extremes. The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. I frankly don't believe that created value is close to accurately rewarded in modern society.
