We see companies as important vehicles for progress because they are able to make bigger, faster and more effective changes than governments or individuals. Individuals can make great changes for themselves, but it takes more than an individual to make and implement huge changes. There are certain kinds of changes that need more than one individual for them to occur. Even Einstein's great ideas took more than Einstein to implement them. A single runner cannot outrun a relay team.
Companies are the format in which people work together to be the most economically productive.
There may be other, more effective formats, but thus far, this is what we have come up with. A company's productive output also greatly affects individuals, not just a company's profits. For instance, society can come up with better ways of developing beneficial pharmaceuticals and making them readily available to people. Change is truly positive when everyone can benefit from the goods and services that businesses produce. We feel that many companies need to change some of their key beliefs about the world.
