the invisible hand vs. the benevolent heart

If Adam Smith were alive today, he would be shocked at how his Invisible Hand metaphor had been bestowed unto a self-centered body of a corporation. Lacking a heart, a corporation blindly fights for its "life" like a Darwinian virus. Since its concept of survival is derived from the simple equations for the maximization of profits (at all costs), the powerless poor majority of the world remain victimized.

But like the ants in the movie, "A Bug's Life", the poor will realize that power does not have to be derived from wealth. Before profits and money ever were invented, TRUST, RESPECT, SOLIDARITY existed and were the primary sources of strength for the early tribes.

Those same sources of power still exist today.

It is about time to replace the Invisible Hand metaphor with the Benevolent Heart metaphor.
