Our Challenge This Week:
Re-create the future of commerce
"Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education,
or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the
intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our
courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it
measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it tells us everything about
America except why we are proud that we are Americans."
– Robert Kennedy, 1968
