Our Business System Even though our nation has unsur passed opportunities ana iacnuies ior education, we remain poor in teaching a fundamental American concept: our business system. Through the years it has reduced poverty and raised our standard of living to the highest of any large nation in the world. Even among the higher echelons of lnorni net t lio i n in mirn/tcnc nnrl r\V>ior?t ives of business profit have been grossly misinterpreted. The truth is that profit does not cause high prices.
