There is not that much that separates the business world and politics as far as alliances are concerned. In politics, it is said that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Politicians are fond of referring to their adversaries as “strange bedfellows” but will not hesitate to climb into the same bed if it suits their interests.
In the world of high-finance, bitter rivals can easily sleep on in the same bed, so long as it is good for the bottom line. For some business people, however, friendship is not a word that exists in their vocabulary. Many good friends who go into business together learn the hard way that years of friendship count for nothing once the business issues get into the way.
