This week, we will deal with the concept of ‘profiteering’.According to the Cambridge dictionary, profiteering means ‘the act of taking advantage of a situation in order to make a profit, usually by charging high prices for things people need’. It is a term that comes back to fashion in every crisis, in order to shame, or even to suggest legal action, against traders who ‘unfairly’ charge a higher price to products that are under a very high demand. Recently, we have seen the rise in the price of masks and sanitizers being declared as ‘profiteering’, and in many countries deemed illegal. Is the slamming of profiteering by its critics linked to a disdain for the morality of profit as such? Are there activities that should indeed be named and shamed as profiteering, and how should one react against them?Andrew Bernstein is a philosopher and novelist.

(Ellis Lane Press, 2006) Here is a glimpse of what Andrew shared in the interview: “I was different. I'm a subversive in Brooks Brothers clothing, so I didn't think that I would be accepted at BellSouth. But that was a really great environment for me. I say, especially early in your career, you want three things, network, name and knowledge.” “…as I look at you and your business, you've built tremendous relationships as your team with people in the market. So, it does exist, but there is a reputation you're dealing with. And that reputation certainly is translated to consumer relationships.” “…relationships are built, we could say one conversation at a time. Great conversations start with curiosity, genuine curiosity.” “And Steve Ross said 10% thinking, 90% doing. Strategy before tactics doesn't mean you over think, but you have got to put a little time in, aiming before firing.” Connect with Creative Growth visit: https://www.creativegrowth.io Connect with Creative Influence visit: https://www.creativeinfluence.io Connect with Andrew Dietz visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/asdietz Capital Club Radio Hosted by: Michael Flock Sponsored by: Flock Specialty Finance Providing a forum for leaders in the middle market segment which has typically been undeserved by traditional banking.
