the main concern here is what is needed to create and sustain that growth rate. here are three potential issues: 1. there is a short term incentive for lying -- tricking people can get you a long way (e.g. delve) 2. there's a genuine long term incentive for selling products that have short term benefit but long term harm (e.g. gambling, cigarettes, etc). 3. there is a durable incentive to sell products that genuinely benefit for your customers but cause net harm to society -- this last one is a hard problem of capitalism, and imo it's the gov'ts job to make sure that such companies are not allowed to win. |
