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.”
