A 'Statesman' is not a Businessman; and a 'Businessman' is not a Statesman.
A Statesman or a Politician has an entirely different function to play in the Social from that of a Businessman. The Politicians 'major' duty is to Govern. An Economist or a 'Businessman's major function' is to manipulate existing business Institutions in such a manner that the effect is profitable. S/he is not concerned with the act of Governing millions of People, except, maybe, to the effect that a 'business decision' might indirectly have on the Political Structures. The effect on the political structures, if any, might be 'indirect', and 'not directly' related to the 'business decision'. But, since the priority of every businessman is to make a 'profit', its unlikely that some beneficial political decision made by the Businessman, does not result in Profits. Business decisions, whether directly or indirectly, is always motored by Money and Profits. A Politician 'should' be 'motored' with the 'direct effect' a political decision has on the 'democratization' of the Social or the Nation. Politics should be, by its nature, 'selfless'. Being 'politically correct' is not sufficient. 'Business' is by 'nature' 'selfish'. That's why businessmen do not belong in the 'political arena', unless certain specific precautions have been taken. If these precautions have not been taken, the Political is in danger of becoming dominated by 'economic considerations'. In such cases, the political arena becomes a mere vehicle for the generation of Profits. These Profits benefit the 1% at the expense of a properly functioning democracy that benefits the 99%. Politics must be 'genuine' and not just 'politically correct', and it must be 'motored by Freedom and Equality'. Businessmen have no business in Politics, and Politicians have no business in 'political correctness.' 'Political correctness' is empty and vacuous. Where are our Statesmen?
