There are many topics but lack of in-depth discussion. For example, (corporate) profit + survival VS environmental destruction + restricted democracy + lack of transparency and fairness; private VS public division.
In fact, the democratization of business and the open society have made some progress in recent years, but seeing "shortsightedness" and "limitations" may make us take more detours. The wave of consumerism is still the same, and human nature is the most difficult factor behind it.
I have more optimistic expectations for the development of enterprises in social evolution. One is the progress of civilization on the social level (more from the reflection on the past and the more deeply rooted humanism), and the influence of political civilization is also huge. ; Second, there are already many good cases in corporate practice, such as trend-setting Internet companies that represent open power, such as the new atmosphere embodied by the domestic Fat Donglai and Desheng Mansion.
As the most extensive and important organization in society, enterprises are truly shouldering the important task of realizing "a good life for society and people". This should be something I will pay attention to and explore for a long time.
Make a summary of these two passages, especially Moore's passage is very good!
We have never stopped to think that the construction of cars we used to make a living may be the biggest reason why the glaciers of the Arctic and Antarctic began to thaw, and the biggest reason for the end of civilization. There is no connection between the two: "I am just a worker on the car production line, which is beneficial to society and people, allowing them to run around, but I have never thought of a bigger picture, the biggest thing we have done. Consequences, in the end we have to accept the responsibility of our collective actions and the greater consequences of our actions as individuals."-Mike Moore
I know you well enough to call you a robber? There is no industrial company on the earth, any organization of any kind, mine, yours, anyone’s, can live forever. I am convinced by myself and not by anyone else. I am indeed a predator of the earth. But this is not the definition of our civilization with high torque. According to the definition of civilization, I am the leader of industry. In the eyes of many people, I am the hero of the times. But in fact, the first industrial revolution was problematic. It did not work well and cannot be sustained. It was a mistake. We must carry out another better industrial revolution. This time, do it right. ——Ray Anderson
