Re: And Just Who Are Those Investors? I think it's funny that you mention only public corporations, not-for-profits, and government entities. What about the privately-owned for-profit company? To me, the overwhelming preponderance of public corporations versus privately-owned ones is the single biggest problem with the American "free-market" nowadays. A privately-owned company can be perfectly content with making the same profit year after year, focusing on product quality and paying attention to its customers' needs instead of screwing them. The public corporation, on the other hand, is forced by its shareholders to constantly grow, no matter what the cost. Like a balloon being steadily filled with air, at some point it must burst. |
