Tim O’Reilly makes a case for why venture capital is starting to do more harm
> It’s part of the structural inequality in our society, where we’re building businesses that are optimized for their financial return rather than their return to society.<p>Isn't this the whole problem? If people cared about society more than money it wouldn't be a problem to invest or take investment money, because you'd all be working toward the same goal of maximizing returns to "society". The problem is greed and selfish pursuit of wealth by certain kinds of people who see that as a worthwhile purpose for their life.
