>=A0Corporations Are Insane
>=A0By Ross Crockford, AlterNet
>=A0January 29, 2004
>=A0Enron. WorldCom. Bechtel. Halliburton. To the cheerleaders on=
 MSNBC and in
>=A0The Wall Street Journal, such deceitful, profiteering companies=
 are a few
>=A0"bad apples" in a healthy economic barrel, as rare as a=
 murderer in a
>=A0convent.
>=A0But a new documentary that premiered at the Sundance festival=
 film last week
>=A0argues that these rogue companies aren't the exception, they're=
 the rule.
>=A0The controversial premise of The Corporation is that every=
 company is
>=A0legally programmed to act like a psychopath. And the bigger it=
 gets, the
>=A0worse it behaves.
>=A0"The corporation is a paradox," says Mark Achbar, who=
 co-directed and wrote
>=A0the documentary with Vancouver filmmaker Jennifer Abbott and=
 law professor
>=A0Joel Bakan. "It generates tremendous wealth, but at tremendous=
 social and
>=A0environmental cost."
