Traditional Capitalism
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies and
the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
An American Corporation
You have two cows. You sell one and force the other to produce the milk of
four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
Enron Venture Capitalism
You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company,
using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then
execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get
all four cows back with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of
the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company
secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven
cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns
eight cows, with an option on one more. The public buys your bull.
A French Corporation
You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
A Japanese Corporation
You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an
ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever-cow
cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them worldwide.
A German Corporation
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat
once a month, and milk themselves.
A British Corporation
You have two cows. Both are mad.
An Italian Corporation
You have two cows. But you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.
A Russian Corporation
You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count
them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you
have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A Swiss Corporation
You have 5000 cows. None of which belong to you. You charge others for
storing them.
A Hindu Corporation
You have two cows. You worship them.
A Chinese Corporation
