Hightower Lowdown January 2012 Issue
We're being told by today's High Priests of Conventional Wisdom that everyone and everything in our economic cosmos necessarily revolves around one dazzling the corporation.
This heavenly institution, the HPCW explain, has such financial and political mass that it is the optimal force for organizing and directing our society's economic affairs, including the terms of employment and production. Thus, while many other forces are in play (workers, consumers, the environment, communities, and so forth), they are subordinate to the superior gravitational pull of the corporate order, which says that profits, executive equanimity, and a healthy Wall Street pulse rate are naturally the economy's foremost concerns.
