When the leaders speak of peace The common folk know That war is coming When the leaders curse war The mobilization order is already written out. Every day, to earn my daily bread I go to the market where lies are bought Hopefully I take up my place among the sellers.
— Bertolt Brecht
Eye-opening Market Leaders quotations

We always enter markets where the leaders are not doing a great job, so we can go in and disrupt them by offering better quality services.
Economic growth and environmental preservation are two sides of the same coin.
There's no better illustration of that point than the California Clean Tech Open, which challenges California entrepreneurs to bring new, clean technologies to market. I encourage business leaders, policy makers, and environmental advocates to support this innovative, exciting competition.
Ignorance, as well as disapproval for the natural restraints placed on market excesses that capitalism and sound markets impose, cause our present leaders to reject capitalism and blame it for all the problems we face.

The Internet rewards scale; by trading higher up-front costs for lower marginal cost, market leaders can invest in better technology and service.
