What is the same for all of them is that they are all public companies vying for investor dollars.

and there's the rub.
there's the point at which the trade-off occurs.
in the early 1970s, television night news would relay one or another statistic concerning GNP as the astrological indicator of the night of overall Well-Being.
around 1972--around the time stock trade was internationalized, around the time bretton woods was abandoned in currency--the astrological Indicator of overall Well-Being became the dow-jones industrial average.
that is another nice little story, one with many potential implications that will no doubt not be discussed.
but i am glad i told it too.
