RE: Does more education mean higher productivity and growth?

in #education8 years ago

The problem with share holders is that they actually care the least about the long-term future of a company. They prefer strategies that maximise the short term profits usually through dividends that naturally jeopardises the ability of the enterprise to retain those profits for long term re-investment.
As for capitalism, well we're under the impression that the free markets will balance the flow of resources to their most efficient use. If people can't do the things they find the most profitable, then they lose the incentive to invest and innovate.

Thanks for the thorough response. The way, most large corps., do business is toxic. Change is needed.
