He investigates the ramifications of transient reasoning established in free enterprise, elevated by the impact of private value. His strong belief that supportability requires a principal shift in financial backing and institutional needs ensures a deep and drastic change on its way.   Ho offers a striking expression—we can't depend entirely on edified chiefs. Aggregate activity, schooling, financial backer activism, and grassroots endeavours are expected to achieve foundational change.
