Artificially grafting a business mindset to things no designed to generate profit, like prisons, health care, armies, education, transportation, social aid organizations, infrastructure, governments, environmental care, waste disposal, scientific advancement, the arts, religion, society, and child rearing eventually overwhelms the host.

Like Kudzu, a business mind set envelops whatever it's planted in; taking all the land, sunlight, and nutrients from the natural setting.
Capitalism, as we currently practice it, is an addiction as devastating as Heroin.
