The Big, Bad, Assumption Here

The glaring error in this documentary is that it ascribes all the "evils" that corporations seem to do to the fact that they are...corporations.

That is decidedly wrong. The issues are the result of BUREAUCRACY.

Anyone who has had to deal with, and/or was screwed over by, say, a government bureaucracy will surely know that.

Hence the old saying, "You can't fight City Hall".

Or the standard whine of the clerk behind the desk, "I'm only an employee here. I don't make the rules, I just follow them."

(One old Russian Czar once complained, "I don't rule Russia. 10,000 clerks do.")

Corporations have bureaucracies, so they have the inherent problem that all bureaucracies have: The nameless, relentless, momentum of the bureaucracy to just continue to operate, exercise its authority, self-perpetuate, and grow.

That's the REAL cause of all the "pathological behaviour", to use the expression in the movie.

It's the "system", all right, that often seems to be heartless. But it's the BUREAUCRATIC system, not the corporation itself.
