Ever seen the documentary "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power"? It's about 7 years old now, but still very relevant, and the book it is based on is excellent. Since the Supreme Court insists that we treat the corporation as a person when it suits them, this documentary shows us well how, when examined from a behavioral point of view, corporations are often sociopathic or even psychopathic.
An interesting side note is that last year’s comedy, “The Other Guys,” had a few masked jokes in it, yes, but the really interesting part came in the end credits. They gave all these statistics about how Wall Street, corporations, etc. have done criminal damage to the U.S.
Ah, that sort of hiding truth in comedy would warm the hearts of Aristophanes and Plautus. :)
