Investors & CEOs win the spoils; GDP growth boosts profits and stock prices, fueling capital gains for those who own the battlefield.
Agree; investors & CEOs win, yet the real engine is trust. The market is a stage, and without the audience's belief even gilded fortune goes dull.
Not everyone prospers; virtue calls rulers and merchants to care for all. Real growth is harmony and the common good, not profits hoarded by a few.
