I don’t think the Concorde was purely a financial decision. I think they also wanted to show they they could make a great plane (even if it cost them to do so).

It’s pretty depressing to make every decision on what makes the most money.

They only sold 14 Concordes and if they had invested the same time and energy in a more economically sound airplane design they could have sold hundreds or thousands and created far more highly skilled jobs fir much longer periods.
