Dave Pollard: “I truly believe that most of the emergent evils of corporations are more a function of their sheer staggering size than their profit motivation.”

In the article, Pollard reviews The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan, and he suggests a cap on the size of corporations, although I think appealing to their profit motive by arguing that smaller is better is a better approach. The smaller is better argument is one Dave has made before, and I would find the argument more compelling if it were applied to government as well.
