Corporations

"Governments may set goals, but corporations get the work done...Some people are vitriolic about corporations. They say that they have become massive, antidemocratic, global and out of control...[but] corporations are just about the only human organization capable of achieving the complex and difficult tasks that lie ahead...Government departments are generally noncompetitive and often drift into forms of nonproductive behavior..."
James Martin, "The Meaning of the 21st Century."
