The objective of this essay is to illustrate patterns of present distraction from the meaningful objectives of global business: the provision of local standards of living through collaborative care both of innovative structures of local improvements and for the global distribution of generic consumer benefits. Such distractions are as obvious as media attention, in pseudo-business discussions, to the neurotic and greedy patterns of gambling symbolized by the name Wall St. But overlayed on this silly devotion to casino-dynamics are varieties of supposedly learned discourse that are, in the main, locked into those same patterns. They need to be exposed.
