Sure, there's basically a continuum of influential behavior. But scale and purposefulness tip over a line at some point. The general store owner may be a gifted salesman, but he doesn't have a marketing department full of graduate degrees. The car dealership may have a professional ad-maker, but their reach is local. And both of them live where they sell, too -- if they're sociopathic ass____s, their business will suffer. The contrast with the behavior and capabilities of a transnational business is large enough to maybe be a difference of kind, not just degree.

- b3morales 5y agoI can agree with that, but I'd say insisting on "corporate/non-corporate" is sort of a red herring. People use "corporation" as shorthand -- and maybe you're right that it's misleading shorthand -- to talk about scale.
