The Making of a Worldview

Becomes a Mindset

“The whole visible world is as if it were a machine in which there was nothing at all to consider except the figures and motions of its parts.”

—René Descartes

In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith expounded on how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity and well-being.

a pair of hands, do I get a

Chairman Waxman to Dr. Alan Greenspan:You feel that your ideology pushed you to make decisions that you wish you had not made?

Mr. Greenspan:

What I am saying to you is, yes, I found a flaw, I don’t know how significant or permanent it is, but I have been very distressed by that fact.

Chairman Waxman:

You found a flaw?Mr. Greenspan:

I found a flaw in the model that I perceived is the critical functioning structure that defines how the world works, so to speak.

Chairman Waxman:

In other words, you found that your view of the world, your ideology, was not right, it was not working.

Mr. Greenspan:

Precisely. That’s precisely the reason I was shocked, because I had been going for 40 years or more with very considerable evidence that it was working exceptionally well.

We often focus on one issue at a time to gain insights …

But we must have “full-sight” for clarity.

We must see how allissues connect and affect the whole of thecompany
