		<description>Basically, I agree with that.  Even most long-term investments seem to be reviewed each year these days.

The three-hundred-year outlook idea seems similar to the idea that bankers bonuses should be more long-term.  Is it possible?  It seems to have been difficult for governments to get a three-year outlook from banks that they own most of, so how much harder would three-hundred-years be?

I suspect it&#039;s impossible and &quot;social clauses&quot; like in cooperative company rules are the way forwards.</description>

		<description>Profit maximizing isn&#039;t quite so evil if the company has a three-hundred-year outlook. Polluting the environment has a negative effect on profits when looked at long-term, as well as a host of social issues.

It&#039;s too bad the investing community can&#039;t see beyond ninety days.</description>
