Why Businessmen Should Not Be Politicians
In recent years, the line between business and politics has blurred, with many arguing that the skills required to run a successful business translate seamlessly into the role of governing a nation. On the surface, this idea may seem logical, both require leadership, decision-making, and management skills. However, at their core, business and politics operate on fundamentally different principles, and history has repeatedly shown that business leaders often fail when transitioning into political roles. The reason is simple: a business exists to generate profit, while politics is meant to serve the public good. These two objectives are not only distinct but often directly opposed to one another.
