Understanding It

Vaclav Havel has penned a short essay for The Walrus titled "Turning Profit Into Culture." The essay itself is not available online, but Alina Stefanescu has posted a short excerpt from the essay, which I repost below, and also provides a short summation of her own.

""It’s worth stressing that entrepreneurship is above all about the creation of values, not about the accumulation of wealth. Of course, material gain-- profit-- is the force that drives the market economy, but it should be understood to a far greater extent as an essential instrument of human creativity, not as an end in itself."
