Item description from seller

The Assumption Of These Papers Is That The Justification For Government Is To Provide For The Common Welfare. The Resumption Of Extremely Militant Russian Expansionism Has Caught The Business Community Looking Like Deer Caught In The Headlights. Every Discussion Of The West's Creation And Support Of The Russian Economic Engine, It's Fossil Fuel Industry, Begins With The Argument That The First Concern Of Every Business Is To Make A Profit. That Argument Might Hold Substance If We Were Dealing With Businesses Run By Robots On Another Planet, Where Indeed The Legal Fiction That Businesses Are Persons Might Hold Some Realistic Truth. However, Even A Business Run By Robots On Another Planet Will Have Some Distant Effects Upon Actual Humans Living On Earth. If The Extraterrestrial Robots Find It Was A Good Business Practice To Kill Human Babies, Even The Most Dedicated Business Ceo Would Find That A Moral Objection Was Appropriate- Or At Least His Or Her Mother Would Find A Moral Objection (Presumably An Infantile Self-Centered One). In Other Words, A Human Cannot Rationally Find That An Entity It Has Created Is Somehow Exempt From The Primacy Of Moral Considerations. A Business Does Not Intrinsically Need To Make A Profit, It Does Not Intrinsically Need To Have Shareholders, It Does Not Need To Rely On Borrowing Community Savings, Acquired Through Bank Loans, To Further Its Own Private Interests. Those Secondary Characteristics Of Modern Business, And Essential To All Large Corporate Businesses, Are A Creation Of Those People Who Have Found Their Own Competitive Niche Not By Invention, Dependability, Integrity, Or Any Other Characteristic Valued By All Societies, But By Squeezing The Corporate Monster To Make It Do Anything At All In Some Commercial Niche To Escape Pain And Maximize Its Pleasure. Hence, The West Created The Russian Fossil Fuel Behemoth To Satisfy The Greed Of A Relatively Small Number Of Managers And Investors. Could They Be Identified And Hunted Down As Rabid Wolves? Well, Yes, But The World Loves A Rule- Based Society In Which They Are Always As Fully Protected As Human Ingenuity Will Permit. Bring On The Babies, The Monster Is Always Hungry.…
