CAPITALISM 2.0
In her May 23 cover story on fixing capitalism–which recommended amping up investment in research and development with an eye to long-term growth–Rana Foroohar “has put her finger on the crux of the problem with our capitalist system: it has become a monstrous gambling machine,” wrote Bruce Herbert of McLean, Va. Though the argument didn’t convince everyone (Glen Bowler of West Chester, Ohio, said the real reason for a lack of economic growth was the U.S.’s “aging population”), Anthony Rucci, a professor of management at Ohio University’s Fisher College of Business in Columbus, said the article would become required reading for his institution’s MBA candidates. “Foroohar’s exhortation to balance the shareholder primacy model with an equal focus on the value of people and society is spot-on,” he wrote. “Now we need a new generation of leaders with the courage to carve a new path.”
TRANS MEN AND SEXISM
In a widely shared TIME.com story, Charlotte Alter explored how transgender men have experienced sexism as both men and women. (After transitioning, for example, they “gained professional respect, but lost intimacy,” Alter wrote.) “Excellent article, we can learn a lot from trans people because of their unique experiences,” wrote Krysta Gibson on Twitter. Darnell Moore had a simpler reaction: “So good.”
