the book that would factually describe the bizarro world of large corporations and the fungal ecosystems that have been structured around them has not been written yet and it won't be written for a while. it would have chapters laying out the Kafkaesque, extractive bureaucracy, the amoral shenanigans concocted between lawyers, accountants and consultant suits in the remote top floors of tall glass buildings, the endless financial engineering, the non-stop cut-and-paste acquisitions and disposals, the vacuity of management fads and the zero signal-to-noise ratio of inane powerpoints regurgitating platitudes (the high-art of saying nothing because reality is too gross to discuss). somehow we are supposed to believe that this is the pinnacle of successful private enterprise. the natural evolution of "best practice" as articulated in posh business schools in fact historians of the future, with the independence and clarity granted by the passage of time would be very brutal about the type of social pathology this is.
