Politics and Trade

Re: [spiers] Politics and Trade

John,
Thanks as always for sharing your perspectives, and more insights into your
personal background. I must say, it is difficult to blend politics,
history, biography, economics, world trade and small business philiosophy
into a single cohesive essay, but you have managed to do it.

This is the clearest presentation yet of your thesis to "do well as you do
good." As far as I know, it is an original perspective that harnesses
capitalism in such a way that it benefits you (perhaps in a big way) and
potentially society (perhaps only in a small way). There is growing
awareness of the built-in dangers of corporate power (vis-a-vis it's hunger
for growth, anti-social behavior, and legal immunity from prosecution).
Your business model sidesteps the problem entirely. Can we expect a major
book expanding your subject?
