How do you evaluate Astor in terms of his motives, his managerial ability, and his ethics? What lesson does his career teach about the relationship between virtue and success?
Astros was exhibiting megalomania with the scheme he planned. He planned to form a nation called Astoria. He planned to call himself king within the nation he formed. His nation would force competitors away from new fur areas. He did not have the best motives. Astor was mostly greedy. Any competitors in the fur company would be blown away by Astros company. He purposely set up companies next to competitors to do so. His managing abilities were smart but greedy. He was all about making money, and he did anything he could to get that money. He was not professionally ethical when it came to trading. He used inebriation to his advantage when it came to seducing Indians with furs. Virtue and success don’t balance out very well. If Astors motives were geared more towards helping or benefiting others he might have had competitors be an actual threat to his company. He only focused on moving forward to the next big thing.
