I thought the American Business Model view is that the government
shouldn't be in control? It should just defend property rights and act as referee over a free market of self-interested materialistic rationalists? And then everything is beautiful and Pareto efficient.
There is a competing point of view, that profits are a byproduct of delivering goods and services rather than the other way around. I quite like it
