But whose motivation?

• That of the founders/inventors who strive for technical excellence, self-fulfillment, and financial independence through successful products on the market.

or

• That of investors who strive for a maximum „leverage“ and an optimized „exit,“ regardless of industry or marketability of any products.

But which goal does “the economy“ actually pursue?

• Good products and services for everyone

or

• Maximum profits for investors?

• Innovative products solving fundamental problems on the market, which always retain their value -independent of currency risks and competition.

or

• Spectacular „exits“ by means of sales to large companies that ”shake-out the market“ to perpetuate selling traditional products undisturbed by innovative competition, or else to establish increasingly unconquerable monopoly positions?

• Has than Everything been thought of?

or

• Are there problems one should take urgently care of, but which are being left unattended?

• Appreciation for education, competence, and personal achievement, regardless of profession and individual remuneration, combined with a real opportunity of advancement for all.

or

• Commercialization of all areas of life and categorization of people according to – frequently inherited –financial possibilities („neo-feudalization“)
