Dear Old People Who Run the World,
My generation would like to break up with you.
. . .
You wanted big, fat, lazy “business.”
We want small, responsive, micro-scale commerce.
+
You turned politics into a dirty word.
We want authentic, deep democracy — everywhere.
+
You wanted financial fundamentalism.
We want an economics that makes sense for people — not just banks.
+
You wanted shareholder value — built by tough-guy CEOs. We want real value, built by people with character, dignity, and courage.
From Umair Haque on Harvard Business. Seen it on Joyengine.
