If Corporations Are People, They’d Be Psychopaths

Check out this thought-provoking article. If a corporation is indeed a person, what kind of person would it look like? Answer: psychopath. “Indifferent to others, incapable of guilt, exclusively devoted to their own interests.”

Can we just all call out capitalism for what it is? A highly successful but imperfect, amoral system of allocating society’s resources. Contrary to what partisans may have you believe, capitalism is not virtuous or inherently just. We use it because it works for the most part. However, its worst elements must be tempered, just as criminals and psychopaths are controlled by the state. Sometimes capitalism is not restrained, and Exhibit A is the slow-motion train wreck that is the United States. But that’s OK, we gotta protect the job creators right?
