The corporate entity, is it pathological? The answer is yes.
The text I quoted below is from the movie Human Resources now on Cryptogon.
From Cryptogon
The corporate entity, is it pathological? The answer is yes. Why? Because it drives toward profit regardless of the broader implications. It doesn't matter if your drive towards profit induces pain and suffering, generates black lung disease in a mine, or pollutes the environment, or literally destroys the society. It doesn't matter. You are forced by the nature of the social relations inside and among corporations in the market system to pursue, to accumulate, to pursue profits.
He could have added as well that the drive towards profit might also make you want to start wars or imprison more people, two of America's most important industries.
