Thanks Arthur - reminds me of the thoughts of Arie deGeus in his
book on "The Living Company" who studied what makes companies last
beyond 40 years.
He makes an analogy between oxygen for living organisms and money for
companies. "To support life, we need oxygen to breath; but breathing
oxygen is not our purpose. Similarly to support continued operation,
companies need to make money and profit; but that is not their
purpose. When it is made their purpose they become money machines;
rigid mechanisms unable to adapt and learn."
