An Astonishing Lack of Ambition

This Umair Haque line sums up a lot of what what I believe re: business, business ethics, and what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life:

Here's what the economic historians of the 23rd Century are going to say about the 20th.

"They built giant, globe-spanning organizations, that employed tens of thousands of people working around the clock, to produce... sugar water, fast food, disposable razors, and gas guzzlers. Perhaps the defining characteristic of the paradigm of 20th Century capitalism was its astonishing lack ofambition. Rarely in history has such a void, a poverty of imagination been so deeply woven into the fabric of humankind's economic systems."
