It's not overly-simplified. In its purest form, business is for making money, not caring about people's welfare. The examples where that's not always true are essentially stories about something else contaminating the pure business ethic, and such contaminates are hard to maintain the larger a business gets and the longer it operates.
- mistrial9 3y agono, I am explicitly disagreeing with that.. I think there are many forms of "business" that far outdate modern economics. I believe that some places and some markets did have an "enlightenment" and provided for plural forms of business explicitly. Meanwhile, some individuals, groups or families took and kept power to run their own business. Now looking at 30x more people and economies on the scale of nations, it is easy to forget the "micro economics" that we all must live, and that can power "business." Lastly, I claim that speaking in nation-wide generalities can only be wrong because it only takes one counter-example to spoil a generalized statement.
