"Economics is the study of how societies use scarce resources to produce valuable commodities and distribute them among different people."

We understand the logic of it...
And yet, this legitimate gripe continues all across corporate America today.

Are we insane? Misguided? Or are the organizational structures and policies of our corporations just that poorly structured?
