If being successful means getting rich at other peoples expense, trading rights for privileges, destroying the natural world, and securing ourselves and our assets behind prisonlike walls for our own protection. The very nature of the game has changed forever. Our goals are elusive. Our purpose for many previous business enterprises are no longer justifiable by any intelligent human being. Neither success, wealth or money are what they appear to be.
Truth is indeed an endangered species.
And our excessive individuality, consumer mentality, technology-addiction has further divided and removed us from the human community of our common concerns. We are alone, vulnerable without the support of our families and communities. International bankers, transnational corporations, government and their employees have enjoyed the benefits and privileges of business as usual. While those less fortunate have carried the burdon of abuse, taxes and loss of freedoms. There is a disproportionate distribution of wealth and access to resources, even basic human needs for basic human dignity, that is the root of most of our social and economic problems.
