It'll reward the companies with the best groups of people, but not the best groups of companies, which I think the other comment was getting at.

- atoav 8y agoI am not sure what best means in this context..? Most utilitaristic? Best in stealing public resources while being seen as a philantropist? What the best is, depends on the incentives, the goals and the company culture. The best Mafioso in a group of the best mafiosi will be without a doubt a damn good Mafioso – but what does this mean for the rest of society?
- imh 8y agoThe definition of best is irrelevant. The point is the distinction between maximizing something for an individual versus maximizing that same thing for the group.
- atoav 8y agoIt isn’t irrelevant in practice, not for those who suffer from it and not for society as a whole because of missed potential. I understand why a isolated look at these things could make sense though
