Apple-less
Amazingly, I’ve never owned an Apple product. Despite this fact, I admire Apple and the culture that Steve Jobs brutally, but single-handedly, instilled into the company. These excerpts from “Jobs questioned authority all his life” explain why:
Jobs called the crop of executives brought in to run Apple after his ouster in 1985 “corrupt people” with “corrupt values” who cared only about making money. Jobs himself is described as caring far more about product than profit.
He told (biographer) Isaacson they cared only about making money “for themselves mainly, and also for Apple — rather than making great products.”
Despite Apple’s unprecedented success behind Jobs’ “products, strategy, people” credo, most captains of industry and their mini-me clones just don’t get it – and it looks like they never will. I think capitalism is the least inequitable “ism” there is, but extreme capitalism is no better than any other “ism“.

In a truly free market, (not one like we have where certain businesses are too big to fail, or fit a political agenda and must be propped up like Solyndra); companies that don’t build high quality and innovative products go broke and die. The customer picks the winners and losers and that is better for everybody. When the government picks winners and losers its always tied to politics and given the size of our governments massive spending there is a lot of mal-investment going on. This hurts venture capitalists and start ups by sucking risk capital out of the market.
As usual, all roads lead to Rome. Right Phil? 🙂
