    Profit represents surplus value that can be excersized to either sustain an organization when demand is low or to increase productivity through expansion. If there was no profit then all businesses would be on the verge of collapse at all times

      The real purpose of profit is to incentivize investment. Without starting liquidity, industry and business can’t get off the ground.
