Sounds like the way lots of corporations are run. Top down process control and Taylorism are just the right's version of communist central planning.

The key difference is that workers, suppliers and customers have choices about how they are run whether to work with them or whether to supply to them.

If someone wants to discriminate that's their own dumb choice. They won't get far in life choosing employees etc on gender/ethnicity vs merit.

You have a point, but in some markets there's an oligopoly situation that Robinho thinks is fine, but actually can be very damaging. However, point taken; I have a blacklist of 3 organisations that I won't work for because their working practices are so backward I don't want their name on my CV.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with a oligopoly or even a monopoly for me. If a company profiteers then that will simply attract competition, provided there are actually wealthy investors about that haven't been taxed to death.

A lot of monopolies arise from crony capitalism or ridiculous patent laws anyway.

I never said that women are being held back, I am saying that that they generally cope with juggling careers and children and that they take ultimate responsibility (mostly) for their kids and their home. Being a fully active executive director of a large company is probably a step too far for many women (except HR - which lets face it is not a key role requiring 120% of commitment) which is why they choose not to chase these jobs.

Is there any subject you aren't so bigoted about ?
