ACF, another theory I have [this could be endless] is that business [and other] relationships are a mixture of old-style chimpoid territoriality and possession where wealth is something to be found and taken, by any means and the new-style idea that humans are bonded in love, synergy, voluntary interaction for mutual benefit and where the source of wealth is energetic creativity.

In the second, a deal is done based on love and a desire for the output of the creative. There is pleasure in seeing one's energy and creative output enhancing people's lives. There is recognition and belonging in the payment [money, trade or whatever, perhaps just simple appreciation].

Similarly in investing. There is investment to get money and there is investment to achieve something and the two must go together to do it on a continuous basis. $ill Gates with Microsoft was making loads of dosh as well as producing things to change the world. But his $ill and Melinda Gates Foundation, headed by his father, is an investment which will not make a profit [in the conventional sense]. But he fully intends to get a very big bang for his bucks.

Enron seems to have been purely a 'get the dosh' investment and business. Did they like their customers, shareholders and business associates and wish them to do well? I suspect not.
