I agree. Yet my argument is not to change the definition of profit, but to better align profit with the public good.rootone said:and the value of the word 'works' is at the moment equal to maximum profit (in the US and other some other market driven countries), or minimum fines elsewhere.
This won't change until politicians see votes in changing it.
I am not a believer in free markets as free markets. I acknowledge they have severe and sometimes fatal problems. I am a believer in humanity. Free markets or modified free markets are often the best solution to the problems we face. When they are not, we shouldn't use them.
(Also, our economy is no longer a free market. Large corporations are inherently anti-free market.)
