For those who are still in the dark about capitalism, businesses are run by and for their management. Don't believe it? Take a look at the how the "finance capital" companies operate:
"Wall Street's five biggest firms are paying a record $39 billion in bonuses for 2007, a year when three of the companies suffered the worst quarterly losses in their history and shareholders lost more than $80 billion."
"Shareholders in the securities industry endured their worst year since 2002, as Merrill and Bear Stearns slumped more than 40 percent in New York trading and the chief executive officers at both firms gave up their jobs. Morgan Stanley fell 21 percent and Lehman dropped 16 percent. Only Goldman rose, gaining 7.9 percent.
``Wall Street firms have always been run, and likely always will be run, for the upper-level management, not for the shareholders,'' said James Ellman, who manages about $200 million, including stock in Morgan Stanley and Merrill, at San Francisco-based SeaCliff Capital."
The important thing is to make more profit so you, the manager, can take higher compensation. Heck you should take that higher compensation even if the company loses money. Shareholders? Who?
This is far from strange. Once a nation is aligned with Pentagon interests, it usually becomes much more willing to do deals with US companies, and non-profits (who are otherwise highly suspect.) OLPC is a US initiative, started by a member of the US elite. Don't forget his father was a shipping magnate. His elder brother John continues to have an active role in implementing the psychoticpolicies of the US empire.
Fortunately there are differences of opinion amongst the elite which can open up interesting possibilities. Hopefully OLPC will survive.
I would love to see Cuba get a few hundred thousand of the laptops, or Venezuela, or China, or Iran.
I bought two with the G1G1 program, and once they arrive I'm going to start work on some educational games to help people figure why the world is organized the way it is.
