RE: Capitalism: Greed vs Giving

in #greed2 years ago

I thought you did a very good job with explaining what Gilder was trying to say in his article about greed and how it can hurt in many ways. I also thought it was very well laid out with a very good understanding and explanation of the reading. It was very easy to read and made a lot of very good points, all pointing back to your main overall topic.

Forgoing your own selfish desires to fulfill the needs of someone else feels inherently good.

I thought that this was a very good point to bring up and I felt that this highlighted your main point very well in your article. It is very hard to be selfish when trying to grow into a successful venture, and you often have to make sacrifices. Many entrepreneurs invest lots of their own money in order to ensure that there venture is successful, which makes it even sweeter as you see the venture begin to succeed in the field.
I also really liked your comments on greed and how entrepreneurs often focus on their competition more than what the consumers want. I think this is a real problem and can end up hurting their ventures more and more every day. When making money is the only goal, it can lead to poor quality of work, and that can hurt your business as well. Of doubt, there are instances of businesses operating egotistically and disregarding the interests and wants of customers under a capitalist society. Maintaining quality as your business grows is something that every growing business must deal with, and can be very hard to do. It is one of the many problems you face as your company grows more, but is very important to ensure that you maintain your reputation. Reputation is so very big in any field that you choose to get in to, with social media for example, it can be a very big task maintaining a good reputation for your business.
Overall, I felt this was a very well thought out article, and it did a very good job of explaining and staying on topic. It was very easy to read and follow along with to stay engaged as the reader.
