“The economic crisis that’s going on right now doesn’t represent a cycle, it represents a reset.  And people that understand that will prosper and people who don’t understand that will get left behind…. When we come out of this fog, this notion that companies need to stand for something and need to be accountable for more than just the money they earn will be profound.”

-Jeffrey Immelt, CEO GE
