The corporation : a documentary

ผู้แต่ง:Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott, Joel Bakan, Big Picture Media Corporation, Filmwest Associates

บทสรุป:Pt.1. Examines the pathological self-interest of the modern corporation. "In the mid-1800s the corporation won the status of a legal "person." Imbued with a "personality" of pure self-interest, the next 100 years saw its rise to dominance, made possible by a single-minded drive for profit. The corporation created unprecedented wealth, but at what cost? The remorseless rationale of "externalities"--The effects of corporate activity on the physical world and people "external" to it-- is responsible for countless cases of illness, death, poverty, pollution, exploitation and lies. After point-by-point analysis. The corporation delivers a disturbing diagnosis: the institutional embodiment of laissez-faire capitalism fully meets the diagnostic criteria of a psychopath."--Container
