I remember in college having a conversation with my business finance professor after class and I asked why is it that corporations only survive if they are always increasing. Why can't businesses run smoothly delivering excellent customer value and delivering consistent profits? One answer at the time was for a CEO to appear to be doing their jobs, numbers had to be improving. Well, why not change the standards by which CEOs are compensated by? The answer I see now is the whole design of the central banking system. They did not teach the part about how the fed really works. Had to learn that independently.
