		<description><![CDATA[The child like and pseudo religious belief that the free market will, by itself, right all wrongs in time, a belief adhered to by Alan Greenspan and other groupies of Ayn Rand, is at the heart of our financial crisis and the crisis of capitalism. This Greek tragedy was played out at Enron, Lehman Brothers, and now Goldman Sachs and BP. The question is whether corporate executives are capable of adhering to principled behavior in the absence of punishment of significant severity to balance out the significance of potential rewards for unprincipled behavior.  <a href="http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2010/06/13/corporate-culture/goldman-sachs-and-the-need-for-hangings-in-the-village-square/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is in part the result of political/ideological waste. Lean management focuses on the elimination of waste from manufacturing and other processes. Lean managers develop a keen sense for what adds value and everything else is waste.
