| On a quick first read of your list everything strikes me as half true at best. They are all absolute statements, but I don't believe they're true most of the time. 1. I think most corporations are small companies 2. Microsoft didn't grow for almost a decade. Then they tippled in size. Are you suggesting that Microsoft didn't grow for a decade because investors didn't demand it, but were ready to triple in size whenever their investors showed up and demanded it? 3. This is true of any investment and not just true for professional investors. 4. This is true of everyone. 5. Most corporations pursuing continuous growth is a fallacy. The competition you describe is called Capitalism and it has many benefits. Not least of which are lower costs and better products/services for the consumer. 6. I disagree with the premise so I disagree with the conclusion. 7. Capitalism can amplify greed and greed can lead to acting immorally, which is bad, but I maintain this is rare. 8. I've been toying with the idea of the benefits of curving inflation in my mind. You're going to have to define what 'social justice' is and what restoring it looks like. |
