Good and evil companies
Maybe the difference between "good" and "evil" companies is precisely whether or not they exist for a purpose other than simply maximizing profit. That would explain why the founders' personal involvement makes such a huge difference and why the IPO and managerial professionalization so often seem to suck the soul out of a great company.

Thanks for the comment, but your link links back to the original post.
Without knowing the details of the proposals you're talking about, it seems to me that arbitrarily capping a company's size or lifespan would amount to punishing it merely for being successful, and I don't think I'd be comfortable with that.
