While we were still calculating to enter the top 500 companies, others were already doubting or even disbanding unnecessary companies., Reivew on The Corporation

1. The power of a family cannot compete with the power of an industry that spends $1.2 billion to promote products. Talk to them now, maintain good relationships with them when they are young, and wait for them to grow up. , They become your consumers. I don’t know if this is ethical. Our job is to sell products.

2. The principle of excess. Instill the concept of need and let them focus on unnecessary consumption, such as fashion consumption.

3. Hidden behind "legal persons", companies can exploit unethically and ignore the law, as long as the cost of fines is lower than the cost of compliance.

4. Enterprises are the predators.

5. You may say that I am a leader in industry and a hero of the times, but in fact, the first industrial revolution was problematic. It did not work well and could not be sustained. It was a mistake. We must carry out another better industrial revolution, this time, do it right.

They want to think about the business in the enterprise, but they always have a day to take off their suits.

The Corporation quotes

Vandana Shiva: Fifteen corporations would like to control the conditions of our life, and millions of people are saying, "Not only do we not need you, we can do it better. We are going to create systems that nourish the earth and nourish human beings". And these are not marginal experiments. They are the mainstay of large numbers of communities across the world. That is where the future lies.

Michael Moore: You know, I've often thought it's very ironic that I'm able to do all this and yet what am I on? I'm on networks. I'm distributed by studios that are owned by large corporate entities. Now, why would they put me out there when I am opposed to everything that they stand for? And I spend my time on their dime opposing what they believe in. Well, it's because they don't believe in anything. They put me on there because they know that there's millions of people that want to see my film or watch the TV show, and so they're gonna make money. And I've been able to get my stuff out there because I'm driving my truck through this incredible flaw in capitalism, the greed flaw. The thing that says that the rich man will sell you the rope to hang himself with if he thinks he make a buck off it. Well, I'm the rope. I hope. I'm part of the rope. And they also believe that when people watch my stuff, or maybe watch this film, or whatever, they think that, you know, they'll watch this and they won't do anything because we've done such a good job of numbing their minds and dumbing them down, you know. People aren't gonna leave the couch and go an do something political. They're convinced of that. I'm convinced of the opposite. I'm convinced that a few people are gonna leave this movie theatre or get up off the couch and go and do something, anything, to get this world back in our hands.
