P = R – C
Profit equals revenue minus cost
Such a simple equation but such a cause of so much argument, some of it bloody & violent
What is revenue & who gets it?
What are costs & who pays them?
Many are still uneasy with the very idea of profit. Richard Branson made much in his failed bid for the National Lottery that there would be no nasty profits
Ah yes, but what about R and C
E = mc² said Einstein
Which seems almost as simple
But: there is a square in there. And time
The world exploded
