> Business does not preclude care, sharing or community. No, it doesn't. Quite to the contrary, good relations foster business transactions - nobody wants to do business with jerks. But still, business is first and foremost an exchange: I do something for you, you do something in return. If we both get along, that's even better and if I can give you something for free (that is, not extract the maximum value from that transaction), that's nice and I'm sure you'd probably remember me when you can give. Still, the primary reason for a business transaction is business, not benevolence. That's charity then. It's dangerous to pretend otherwise.
