Greater good becomes defined by the economic interests of the play ; fluctuates throughout to play. As long as someone else bearing the cost; as long as someone is bearing the loss. The greater good; play is extremely aware of this. Defining and redefining the greater good at every single thought; why? because we will lose income, so what if they bear the consequence of this cost. Should be finding a way to incentivize the future. Special interest and press freedoms (interest incentives press?) Individual interest over common good- no such common good outside of the boundaries of interest. Consensus may not necessarily be the right answer.
