«Payback»: (Canada) Based on Margaret Atwood's best - selling book, Payback explores how debt is a
central organizing principle in our lives — influencing relationships, societies, governing
structures and the very fate of this planet.
I see nothing said here about what seems to me to be the
central traditional purpose of a partnership
structure: the desire to apportion net earnings in agreed proportions, — as
organized by the partnership agreement, — from year to year, rather than to
structure earnings as stated sums payable by way of salary (which of course would be the default
structure if the firm were owned by equity investors).
