Anita Roddick's business life is a GOOD EXAMPLE of the truth that Economics is Politics.
A CYNIC would say that it simply is not possible to FOUND AND MAINTAIN a LARGE SCALE, ETHICALLY and ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND AND SUSTAINABLE COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE / BUSINESS.
[A CYNIC is not now exactly what it was in Ancient times, by the way!]
The reasons for this not now being even vaguely possible are not "economic reasons" BUT Politics.
There is no such thing as an "ECONOMIC REASON" - is basically my view!.....
LEGAL REGULATION of economic activity make the feat that she achieved at least for a little while a few decades ago nearly impossible today as well as then!
The 1980s and its technological advances were MERELY used to entrench and maintain EXTREME NEOLIBERAL CAPITALISM!
Capitalism is written into the Law of the land.
Such that every part of the system HAS NO CHOICE but to maximize so-called "profits"!....
It has been for a long time!

This is one reason why I am a Libertarian Socialist!.......
