"Until a business returns a profit that is greater than its cost of capital, it operates at a loss.
Never mind that it pays taxes as if it had a genuine profit.
The enterprise still returns less to the economy than it devours in resources...
Until then it does not create wealth; it destroys it." - Peter Drucker, Harvard Business Review
