TODAY: We started our discussion of The Corporation Chapter 4. Our discussion centered around the question: "The law's ability to protect people & the environment from corporate harm has suffered." Why? We discussed:
-Business Opposition to Regulation

For Wednesday's class, please read the following paragraph and give thought to the subsequent question.
A coup is no longer necessary for the corporation to dominate governments. Capitalism's protagonists and players are the new high priests of our day. Industry and government have become intertwined to the extent that it's hard to tell when one ends and the other begins. But citizens are resisting and protesting their dissent to the centralization of power in corporate hands. The corporation has responded by enacting programs of corporate social responsibility.
Are they just a tactic responding to market pressure?
