Umair Haque, "Is the Life Well Lived Worth Anything?" What is interesting is not so much the ideas, which are a riff on Aristotle, but the venue - Harvard Biz Review Blog. This McGill , London Biz School, and Oxford educated business thinker looks deeply into our economy and behold! Wealth Bondage. I too in my weaker moments, when off by meds, may rail against Wealth Bondage, but I do try to show some respect for my employer. What we need now apparently is a New Capitalist Manifesto. I buy into that big time, Mistress. The solution to capitalism is more capitalism. We just have to make sure we are in charge. Our brand of happiness is better than your brand. So we build our business. Am I the only one here who is morally insane? Whatever they did to Umair, to make him so happy and productive, I want that too.
Toasting you Phil.

Diagnosis, market logic is killing us spiritually, emotionally, politically.
Prescription: Buy my book on making it big in business.

Indeed. Is worth, lived well, worth wooly things? Dime store wisdom from time-stored datums - did I mean: "discrete atoms?" Mammoth knows.

The best medicine is laughter - at one self. That is a fool's wisdom, and is not taught at Oxford, apparently, at least not in the business subjects.
