Recall this:
"Dawlabani
(2018) still sees Whole Foods’ original intent as integral, but when
its bottom line of profits fell the investors decided to change its
business model, especially after Amazon bought it. 'This real Orange
threat forced Mackey to start thinking differently.' Hence Mackey’s
'long-term prospects of continuing a culture of Conscious Capitalism at
Amazon are highly unlikely.' As I noted above, the dynamics
inherent to capitalism tolerated his conscious approach only as
long as he made them money. When competition drove down its profits and
share price the forces of capitalism drove out the conscious
aspect in favor of its own inherent values. As expected, Mackey
lost the bargain with the devil capitalism, as any such bargain
inevitably will as long as it remains wed to it" (89-90).
