Actually I think it's simpler than that. They have to consider both the
short-term buck and the long-term buck.

Henry Ford was criticized by other industrialists because he paid workers
the
princely sum of $5 per day. His response was that it did not make sense to
him
to have people building a product they could not afford to buy. He traded
off
the short-term buck of higher wages for the long-term buck of a bigger
market.
I don't think he did this out of any love for the workers or the country,
but
rather because he saw a bigger picture.


Exactly, he saw that by looking at the longterm, his overall total profits
would be enhanced. He wanted a longterm, stable income than a quick buck.
