Hi Jeff, thanks for the feedback! I definitely don't think governments are always good - I agree with 100% that there is endless examples of abuse of power in government. I think positions of power, both corporate and in government, are magnets for both the corrupt and the noble in equal measure! There are certainly many great entrepreneurs around the world that provide examples of the good that can be done when imagination and morality come together!
I think for at least many of the great entrepreneurs of history, once they have made enough money to be comfortable, the motivation of helping humanity is a major factor. After all, what's more satisfying, a slightly bigger yacht, or being a key player in something that helps your nation and humanity? Certainly motivations vary and that's why we should have a mixed economy that harnesses varied motivations for humanity.
'Community Business' as mentioned in the interview is part of a three way mix between traditional business, modest government and a much more sophisticated and thriving community. In my mind Community Business would be about enabling that entrepreneurial spirit in a larger pool of people, while discouraging the pursuit of riches purely for greed or the sake of social status. It is my belief that getting caught up in social status inhibits and distracts from greatness of character, morality and achievement - the kind of greatness that I think is a mark of the more moral entrepreneurs that shine throughout history.
There is a little bit more (WIP) about Community Business on my website. http://citizenearth.altervista.org/business1.html
