In Japan, for example, many people feel privileged to work for their corporations and attribute a great deal of identity and benevolence to them. In the United States, large corporations will also contain many people who treat “the corporation” as a specific entity, capable of rewarding or punishing them.

Just like religious and racial groups, corporations will do their best to influence the government for their own ends.

‘Till things are brighter, I’m the man in black
