The Corporation

I just saw the documentary "The Corporation". It was certainly
food for thought and the issues it raised are pertinent to the
upcoming election, as well as relating the future of the US and
the rest of the world. I recommend The Corporation to anyone
who is interested in the problems brought about by a "global economy".

Do you have any info. on how to obtain or veiw this film?

Who made it?

Yes "The Corporation" is highly recommendable.

It has been the subject of other posts (Anyone see the Movie: The Coporation) and there is an official website.

Corporations have also been the subject of other threads recently: Corporations: The Greatest Political Scandal Never Told.

jdster: perhaps you should outline specific issues you want to discuss before this thread turns into a F911 type discussion?

Yes, It was made by Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbot, and Joel Bakan.
I think they're Canadian. Go to www.thecorporation.com for more info.

Well, I originally posted in the campaign issues forum, but it probably didn't make sense to do so.

Specific issues to discuss:

Corporate hegemony over our civilization (there's more to life than conspicuous consumption)

The adverse effects of bad corporate behavior on our civilization (pollution, sweatshops,
outsourcing, etc.)

Should corporations be legally considered a person (no!)

Are corporations really all bad? (NO!)
(Interface has the right idea: become "sustainable" by 2020)
