The Corporation by Joel Bakan
The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power
The book delves into the nature and behavior of modern corporations, portraying them as entities driven by profit maximization at the expense of ethical considerations and societal well-being. It argues that corporations, by their very structure, exhibit traits akin to those of a psychopath, prioritizing self-interest and often disregarding the impact of their actions on people and the environment. Through a critical examination of historical and contemporary examples, the narrative explores the legal and economic frameworks that empower corporations, while also highlighting the potential for reform and the role of regulation in curbing their excesses.
