The Corporation - by Joel Bakan

'The Pathological Pursuit of Power and Profit'

 

This is another eye-opening book, where the author contends that the structure of companies forces them to be 'psychopaths' by definition: they have no regard for others, they externalise as many costs as they can, the take no responsibility, the feel no guilt or remorse, they lack empathy, the have asocial tendencies, they only relate to others superficially, and they manipulate everyone around them.
