:13:02
I believe the mistake that
a lot of people make
:13:04
when they think
about corporations
:13:06
is they think you know
corporations are like us.
:13:10
General Electric is a kind
old man with lots of stories.
:13:14
Nike young energetic.
:13:19
Microsoft aggressive
:13:21
McDonald's young
outgoing enthusiastic
:13:26
Monsanto immaculately dressed
:13:29
Disney goofy.
:13:32
The Body Shop
um deceptive
:13:35
very lovely.
:13:39
Do you know what the
body shop is?
:13:40
Nope.
:13:41
They have feelings
they have politics
:13:43
they have belief systems
:13:45
they really only
have one thing
:13:47
the bottom line
:13:48
How to make as much
money as they can
:13:51
in any given quarter.
:13:52
That's it.
:13:53
Of course they
make a profit
:13:55
and it's a good thing.
:13:56
That's the incentive that
makes capitalism work.
:13:59
To give us more
of the things that wanted.
:14:02
Thats the incentive that
other economic systems lack.
:14:05
People accuse
us of only paying attention
:14:08
to the economic leg
:14:09
because they think
:14:10
thats what a business
persons mind set is
:14:13
it's just money.
:14:14
And it's not so
:14:16
because we as
business people
:14:19
know that wanted to certainly
address the environment
:14:22
but also wanted to be seen as
:14:27
constructive members
of society.
:14:30
There are companies that do
good for the communities.
:14:33
They produce
services and goods
:14:35
that are of value to all of us
:14:38
that make our
lives better
:14:40
and that's a good thing.
:14:42
The problem comes in in
the profit motivation here
:14:47
because these people
:14:48
theres no such
thing as enough.
:14:51
And I always
counterpoint out
:14:55
theres no organization
on this planet
:14:57
that can neglect
its economic foundation.
