Sibile Marcellus - 'We squandered a major economic recovery': Harvard professor

The nation wasted the major economic recovery, according to a new report by Harvard Business School on U.S. competitiveness.

“We had this wonderful recovery. It could have given us the chance to take some significant resources and devote them to some of our well-known challenges, like infrastructure or health care...none of that happened. Instead, we squandered a major economic recovery and didn’t use it to make things better,” said Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter, a co-author of the study.

The business community’s role in politics has made a significant contribution to Washington’s dysfunction, according to HBS’s report. The majority of the business leaders surveyed said businesses’ overall engagement worsened the political system by advancing policies that benefited special interests.

“Like when the Wright brothers did the impossible and took travel to the air,”

That’s a material endeavor JR... requires a science methodology... not applicable to human relations .... you use that method to try to understand human relations or social justice you end up with Darwin .. “survival of the fittest!”, etc...

This is almost comical from you if it weren’t so sad: “peace ... makes evolution possible “

Wtf are you talking about?????

Where is there peace and justice in “survival of the fittest!”???

You are re-defining "evolution"...

'Evolution' is defined by Darwin as "survival of the fittest!"...

Its a misapplication of the material science methodology to human development...

You may be talking about something else...

"Herbert Spencer first used the phrase, after reading Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, in his Principles of Biology (1864), in which he drew parallels between his own economic theories and Darwin's biological ones: "This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called 'natural selection', or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life."[1]

Darwin responded positively to Alfred Russel Wallace's suggestion of using Spencer's new phrase "survival of the fittest" as an alternative to "natural selection", and adopted the phrase in The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication published in 1868.[1][2] In On the Origin of Species, he introduced the phrase in the fifth edition published in 1869,[3"
