increasing efficiency garnered more profit and greater salary and bonus for the CEO. Think of not allowing bathroom breaks so employees can't have a coffee in the morning. Efficiency hits employees too in the ceos fighting to get rid of unions. And the country is damaged by environmental pollution which save money for the ceo if externalities are not regulated. And then American business turns around and tells the EU they are not efficient enough. Maybe there should be a balance.
