    Why not? Where are so many busniess owners who can run multi billion corporation efficiently with a profit...

    I thought I might ask some people for some thoughts...

    Business people only care in making a profit. They don't care how exactly they make it as long as they do.

    I like the French and American models where MInisters/Secretaries are not elected but appointed, and are entirely accountable for their departments performance as opposed to ours where an elected politician with no experience in the field ends up as Minister for whatever.

    Social, welfare, education, infrastructure are all integral elements of day to day operaiton of multinational corporations...Large corporations do know that.

    This is an absurd idea.

    Capitalists only concern is the bottom line, not the welfare of its clientele.
