ideas of elisabeth murdoch

“Profit without purpose is a recipe for disaster,” she said. She continued, “It’s us, human beings, we the people, who create the society we want, not profit. It is increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose—or of a moral language—within government, media, or business, could become one of the most dangerous own goals for capitalism and for freedom.” She added, “Independence from regulation and the freedom we need to innovate and grow is only democratically viable when we accept that we have a responsibility to each other and not just to our bottom line. Profit must be our servant, not our master.”




most times, i don't write anything private on this blog, but instead use it to curate and consolidate the things i read, mull over, agree with, and am voraciously interested in. i wonder if that presents just as much if not more....which is a creepy thought that leaves me feeling a little unintentionally exposed. would it be easier if my closer friends/readers had a password to this place?
