I think it might depend on how you define success?

Profit for the founders and the shareholders is the only definition anyone cares about in the states.

The idea that a business could be considered successful by just providing a living wage for its owners and employees or contributing to the community is not a consideration.

People in this country see a single person startup making a few million dollars to be a greater success story than providing for the lives and well being of 20 employees for a decade.
