The dominance of short-term perspectives has led to routine decisions in the markets that sacrifice the long-term buildup of genuine value in pursuit of artificial, short-term gains.
I think one of the political problems we have in this country is the perspective that all soccer moms think alike, all African-Americans think alike.
