Nations run like businesses

Someone should write an economic histrory book about the Phonecians / Carthage and Britain's East India Tea Company, illustrating the similarities of the two entities--both were operated giving business profits priority over everything--and what it meant for their citizens and neighbors.

One might even suggest the U.S. is run similarly, though I don't believe that to be true.

And they should thank me for the idea in the preface.
