“The CEO of Sears Fails His Company by Believing in the Invisible Hand ”

 “The results have been disastrous, in part because Lampert was ideologically committed to the metaphor of the invisible hand and the associated idea that people are purely selfish. Ideology is a lens – it makes some things more visible, others less so. Lampert’s ideology prevented him from seeing that he was destroying the invisible band – the bond that forms around groups that can trust each other and work together toward shared goals. Evolution is a different lens – one that we believe brings unparalleled focus and resolution when examining complex human systems. A brief look through the evolutionary lens would have made it obvious how dysfunctional Lampert’s reorganization was likely to be.”

Comment

At last something I can broadly agree with on the misuses of the “invisible hand” metaphor by related ideologies.

Its great to know that Lost Legacy is not alone….
