With all the arcane rules and policies of any government, you could probably make a case that corporations are more representative than a corrupted political process.
- lenkite 9y agoCorporations are made of people and supported by people and ruled by investors.
- burkaman 9y agoThey are only representative of their employees. Democratic governments are representative of everyone who votes.
- Jtsummers 9y agoThey represent some of those people. But only if they're considered stakeholders. See cutting of pensions, layoffs, poor benefits, golden parachutes, planned obsolescence. If corporations actually represented all the stakeholders, salaries would be higher, retirement plans would be better, products would be designed to last longer, and golden parachutes wouldn't exist or be as big. Right now, CxO's get an outsized representation compared to their actual role within the organization; same for members of corporate boards.
