Business: The Corporation

I really like the opening of this documentary:

 

150 years ago, the business corporation was a relatively insignificant institution. Today, it is all-pervasive. Like the Church, the Monarchy, and the Communist Party in other times and places, the corporation is today’s dominant institution. 

It is bold, insightful and a tells you exactly what the themes of the documentary and politics of the makers. It is very reassuring to find high quality documentaries, made by extremely intelligent and articulate people, who see the way world in the same way as I do. 

I get frustrated by my family and colleagues continued mocking me for being a "bleeding heart liberal", their is an interference that I am naive, short-sighted and weak.

My life choices have been quite radical and bold. In the post credit-crunch age, with the world struggling with unsustainable big-business and global warming, my quieter life-choices seem balanced and even possibly quite progressive.

Try to check our own natural greed, is never easy, it was one of the Bible's best line: "".  and see the larger  world
