“A focus on steady, long-term growth may be unheard of now in most public companies, but it was standard operating procedure for corporations in the 1950s and ’60s, until we wilted in the face of foreign competition and the global economy and became obsessed with shareholder value.”
Peter Georgescu, Capitalists, Arise!: End Economic Inequality, Grow the Middle Class, Heal the Nation

“where creativity doesn't drive a company's strategic vision, most often the lowest price will be the winning formula. Success, abundance, a rising standard of living-for individuals, companies, communities, nations-will depend on a capacity to create, invent, and innovate.”
Peter Georgescu, The Source of Success: Five Enduring Principles at the Heart of Real Leadership
