Jim Stroup presents Gaming capitalism posted at Managing Leadership. Capitalism has gotten a bad rap from the recent financial crisis and the response of CEOs. Many of them shamelessly seek government bailouts to be administered by themselves, whose previous performance contributed to the crisis. Thus, modern corporate capitalism is viewed as stealing from the rest of us coming and going – at first through predatory commercialism while money is available, and then through expropriation of our tax dollars when things inevitably, as matters so administered are wont to do, go bad. As we all know, though, capitalism is not about what CEOs do to us. It’s about what we all do to ourselves and each other.
