The Monday Morning Memo

“When advertising slogans
are better known than the
Ten Commandments or the
Bill of Rights, when
shopping malls are our
places of worship, when
bad behavior is justified
as long as it leads to profit,
when debt is justified as
long as it leads to plasma
TV, and when the measure
of a person is the brand of
car he drives, maybe it's
time to ask whether we've
corrupted the very nature
of capitalism.”

“Believe it or not, capitalism
originated as a system for
the little guy. It replaced
feudalism, in which a few
wealthy owners had all the
power and money and the
common person had nothing.
It was a noble ideal.”
p. 127-128

Do I realize that Iacocca's sentiments are in direct contradiction with what I wrote in today's Monday Morning Memo? (July 13, 2009)

Of course I do. And I agree with him.  It's another of those contradictive dualities that fascinate me so. – Roy H. Williams
