Are some charities really commercial entities?

Who does a more important job alfred, a sewage worker or CEO  ?

sewage workers are very easy to find and replace...talented CEOs are far more valuable

It depends on what you consider important.  Most businesses would consider it important that they are managed and led by a competent individual who ensures the success of the business thus enabling it to pay its employees salaries, its shareholders dividends, enabling  it to grow and expand thus giving work to more people, increased profits to shareholders etc.  Of course all of that is as nothing if the shit's not being managed properly.

Well, drop what you're doing and become a sewage worker.

As to talented C.E.O.'s  &%+((£

Good question Stephen.

It depends of course on whether you have a surfeit of sewage.

Of course sewage workers, bus drivers, health workers, teachers etc are important.

But usually somewhere there will be an organisation - a company, a school, a local authority, putting it all together - the capital, labour and direction.  And at the head of that will be a CEO and a board providing leadership.

Without organisation there would be a bunch of directionless workers.  Without the labour nothing would get done.

However, the skills required to be a good ceo are rarer than those to be a worker, and therefore will often command a higher price.  Basic JMK.

Take a look at lists of incompetent C.E.O.'s.

Quite breathtaking.

I repeat - there are good CEOs and there are bad CEOs (though the bad ones will likely get the push when their businesses fail).  I'm sure there are lists of really incompetent sewage workers too, somewhere.

do you think they should all earn the same Karl

Of course there are some incompetent CEOs

But that number is swamped by the number of competent, talented managers who manage effectively and grow their organisations. 

A question - what year did the UK have its highest level of industrial exports (by value inflation adjusted). ?

[Mr Gray]

Without the workers, the C.E.O. is nothing.

I think the proletariat should start a revolution...they just need an intelligent CEO type to organise it

[Alfred R Jones]

Without the workers, the C.E.O. is nothing.

without the business, there are no workers.

The capitalist system is the only system that really works, unless you can name a better one?
