This is Part 1 of Whole Foods founder John Mackey interview with PBS Morning Edition’s Steve Inskeep.
John Mackey talks about maximizing profits for shareholders and stock value, but NEVER advocates broadening private, individual ownership among company employees and non-employee (all customers) simultaneously with FUTURE productive capital investment to create more “customers with money” to support the “whole foods” sold by his company. Mackey should implement an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to create new capitalists with a higher purpose (http://www.cesj.org/homestead/creditvehicles/cha-esop.htm.)
