Does anyone know more about how the institutions which these men and women are perched at the top of, affect there attitudes about workers and their labor? I just can't understand what their motivations are, is it really just about maximizing the bottom line? Do they look at workers as just machines, which are fungible; instead of as human beings that are indispensable from their individuality? Is the institution the sole cause of this, or are these powerful positions in a electric field, only attracting particular forms of matter (and repelling others), or a combination thereof?
