Business of making money not fulfilling your soul!

             I don't pretend I come from the conventional world of publishing. I am strictly a young business man trying to cut the fat on all of the minuscule bullshit that clouds peoples mind when making proper business decision. The fact of the matter is that the some young american people tend to be oblivious or at least act that way, when it comes to things that are critically important to their financial live... If I as a theoretical publisher were to publish a book I would not deny contract for authors and writers based on the fact of moral and intellectual fiber. I would make hardcore financial analytical decisions when making when thinking about money.
              Now I use Publishing as an example because I am in a Introduction to Publishing class. In this class we are comparing and contrasting many different manuscripts. Many of these scripts could be published for the fact that they could attract large number audiences to read and purchase them. However, a lot of these manuscripts... well lets just say are not my style of reading. Either way, the realm of any business its not about our personal outlook of quality its about the amount of quantity you could produce, and in this case it is about producing the most amount of quantities of books.
              The most common example of this decision could be related to the music industry. In my mind, what I believe to be (what I know) good music is not what is in the top 100 on the billboard charts. So for instance I rather be dragged naked through a field of pricker bushes in a frozen tundra than have to listen Key$ha or Glee for longer than five minutes without being drunk. The american public would call me crazy for saying people things like this ( no not my explicit analogies) but not having the same general taste as them. If i was a record producer however, I would definitely be producing those billboard top 100 songs, because they sell. Simple as that.
             Same thing goes for books if you are a publisher and you are not producing the books that sells than you will not last long in that world. Thats a world in business everywhere. Survival of the fittest, that the way to play and only way to live.
