Why is profit motive brutal?

Question

zale101 · Answer

We’re told that profit is evil. Yet profit is a sign of health. Profit for Apple means that millions of people are buying affordable phones and computers. Profit for Exxon means millions of people have heat and fuel, instead of living in caves or shacks and riding in horses and buggies. If profit and success are so bad, why are the fruits of profit and success seen as so necessary — indeed, taken for granted? http://capitalismmagazine.com/2012/11/the-profit-motive-is-good-the-loss-and-theft-motive-is-evil/ This site may help you.

"critics point out the profit motive apparently allows no room for the interests of the customer, the employee, or society and the environment, unless those interests happen to align with what the profit motive dictates." IMHO, that is what is wrong with today's businesses, customer service has gone by the wayside.
