That may be the goal of business, but it's not the goal of life - not mine, anyhow.
I don't think there's anything "romantic" about the idea of there being more to life than business, but it does strike me that the reduction of our behavior to mere business, or the belief in the infallibility or primacy of "practical" business decisions is naive in its own way.
