For those who haven't seen it, the basic premise is this: A corporation is, in legal terms, a "
person." So what type of person is a corporation?
The thesis is that if the corporation were actually a human being, that human being would be... wait for it... a psychopath. Completely without conscience, focused on one thing and one thing only - the pursuit of profit to the exclusion of everything else.
It won't appeal to the Republicans in the crowd, and even the centrists (like me) and lefties have argument with some of it. All that said, it's worth seeing. KeithHandy is right, though, it's pretty long. When I saw it on
TVOntario it was broken up over 4 evenings, I think.
