he 21st Century and, right now, we don’t have enough of them.
Healthy businesses thrive in healthy communities. America’s business leaders must recognize that a concentration of economic and political power puts our governance and commercial structures in jeopardy. Business does not exist in a vacuum. It exists in a society of people and all the things that go along with people —concerns about life, family, governance, public policy, fairness, ambition, and hope.
Without a healthy society, commerce is a meaningless concept.
