Henry Ford, the famous U. S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business. " By this he meant that the U. S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.
Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how many people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finance and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business".
The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U. S. life.

S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.
