To many disgruntled shareholders out there, hiding
anonymously behind their Chubb alarm systems, the Barclays and Glaxo fines are
unjust. Capitalism didn’t get us where it has without breaking a few eggs. It
is ruthless. We kill animals for meat. We legitimately obliterate massive forests, dredge
the oceans and fill the atmosphere with
toxins. It is the business end of
business with a lot of shirt pulling and holding going on in the box often
unseen or unpunished. When push comes to shove, Capitalism and the pursuit of profit
has no space on board for morality. If we let morality get in the way, we’d
still be mooching about in fig leaf undies looking for berries. Except that is
not what the disgruntled shareholder thinks. They are just pissed off they aren’t
gonna get some more money.
