Background The introduction of new technology often marks the beginning of a new era: railroads, electrification, and combustion engines produced momentous changes even before the advent of the “digital revolution”. The current wave of innovation is one of the factors behind the rise of intangible assets, which now account for a larger proportion of corporate assets than tangible ones.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible.

Just let the consumer take care of themselves without any help from professionals. This could work if you think like Milton Friedman and ignore fraud and the fact that markets are not perfect.

It also says there are good arguments on both sides of the issue. I’m not commenting on either side of the issue because I am not qualified to do so. It’s just that they started out on a concrete stance and then watered down their own argument.
