I am not swallowing the idea the profit is bad.
Capitalist: noun, a wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit.
Let's look at this closer. If we accept that money and currency are the same, then I suggest we first expand our currencies to include time, security, knowledge and prestige.
Next, let's consider a wealthy person in terms of all the currencies. We find that many, perhaps most, of us are wealthy in one way or another.
This makes the capitalist, this "evil" profit driven individual, something better.
Capitalist: noun, a person who uses time, money, security, knowledge, and prestige to invest in trade and industry to increase his time, money, security, knowledge, and prestige.
Go innovate, and make a profit. Increase your time, or your money, or your security, or your knowledge, or your prestige, or all five of these. Do your right thing better, and in most cases the rest of us will profit as well.Private Reply to Ken Hilving (new win) |
