March 15, 2019 MacVoices #19094: A Discussion of Apple, Business, and Capitalism
Tim Cook made headlines with his, "We’re capitalists” statement at the Apple Shareholders Meeting. That might seem like an obvious thing, but the term has been politicized, and can lead to wrong conclusion. The panel of Peter Cohen, Mark Fuccio, Kelly Guimont, and host Chuck Joiner take on the subject in a discussion that covers why Apple is a different kind of company, and re-defines the many labels given to business, leading by example more than by declaration.
