I was at an MBA graduation this past weekend at a leading business school. The Dean got up and blew my socks off. She suggested that Corporate America make less profit while they focus a bit more on developing product or practices that help to better our society. She said that to maximize profits and the give to charity does not solve a lot of issues or even address them. This is the present model of "good" corporations and good rich people for that matter. When I got my MBA back in the Dark Ages of the 1960s I recall that the focus was on maximizing income per share of stock. I think that I would have stayed in business if this Dean's vision was being followed. Then you would never have heard of my sister Maureen.

I like hearing your take on things.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this the essential message of Jesus - to be more connected with our fellows, as opposed to gaining more material goods for ourselves?
ReplyDeleteI must say God works in mysterious ways. How could we imagine life without knowledge of Maureen?
