Aspects of Commerce

General acquiescence, in the face of unbridled commercialism and the worship of commercial objectives have brought many evils upon the world. A recent issue arising out of naked commercialism was the Avian Influenza incident, in Bernard Matthews turkeys. Topics that would bear discussion are aired here (click on required topic).

Here are a few quotes, highlighting some of the issues:

“Commercialism is doing well that which should not be done at all.”

Gore Vidal - 1975


“Call a thing immoral or ugly, soul-destroying or a degradation of man, a peril to the peace of the world or the well-being of future generations: as long as you have not shown it to be ‘uneconomic’, you have not really questioned its right to exist, grow and prosper.”

Schumacher (1911 - 1977)
 

"So often, when financial reward is the main goal, common sense, safety, ethics and decency take flight."

Chris Day (April 2007)
