"Through vignettes and interviews, the documentary film The Corporation (2003) examines and criticizes corporate business ethics and compares the profile of the contemporary profitable business corporation to that of a clinically diagnosed psychopath. It claims that corporations are systematically compelled to behave with what it claims are the DSM-IV 's symptoms of psychopathy, e.g., the callous disregard for the feelings of other people, the incapacity to maintain human relationships, the reckless disregard for the safety of others, the deceitfulness, the incapacity to experience guilt, and the failure to conform to social norms and respect the law."--Sholem Stein |
