The Corporation

The Corporation, a documentary film, examines the legal status of corporations as persons, then diagnoses them according to DSM-IV. The conclusion:

Self-interested, amoral, callous and deceitful, a corporation's operational principles make it anti-social. It breaches social and legal standards to get its way even while it mimics the human qualities of empathy, caring and altruism. It suffers no guilt. Diagnosis: the institutional embodiment of laissez-faire capitalism fully meets the diagnostic criteria of a psychopath.
