Quotations that took my eye
Capturing some interesting discourse

On short term capitalism
Shareholder value is an outcome - not a strategy Shareholder value is a result, not a strategy…Your main constituencies are your employees, your customers, and your products.
- Jack Welch via the Digital Transformation Game Plan book (which I recommend btw)
On equality
Netherlands in the most unequal place on earth
My take aways:
- Houses are expensive so low middle class need to borrow more than can earn and hence people are under water (i.e. negative net worth)
- Dutch have many old (~400 years) wealthy families
On code / digitisation
If you are not looking at code, what are you doing?
