Have gains not been accounting tricks since the 90s?

I would say that almost all of it is, eg, disassembling our manufacturing and shipping it over seas - which ultimately eroded the middle class and jeopardized national security. But neither of those is on the balance sheets of the relevant company.

Anti-social short-term metricized business is the ultimate form of Taylorism — and in three generations, we can see that it’s an abysmal failure.

Sprinkling math on top doesn’t make reckless greed a good idea.

Quite possibly. I only thought this through wrt. software, as this is my field, but the overall method seems universal: turn concentrated work into disperse work, and throw it over the organizational boundary, so it looks like you've made the costs go away.
