As soon as the business is publicly traded, the goals and values are just money.
If the goals and value aren't money, then eventually the people making decisions will be replaced with people who value the money.
- jgeada 3y agoTrue for the US and the UK, where finance is king and Chicago school economists dominate. I've always felt that economists here are the modern equivalent of soothsayers: they tell their patrons what they want to hear, massaged with enough mathematical nonsense to disguise that there is nothing there but raw self-interest. By contrast, in Germany 1/2 of the seats on the board of a public company must be elected by workers. So there finance and money can't just replace engineering.
