The Almight Corporation

I was intrigued by one of the scenarios mentioned in class today, and it got me to play the scenario in my head. The case was presented by Jeff pride and it painted a picture of a scenario where the corporation replaced the government. The implications are obviously profound, how would the population react, how would the diversity of the skills of the populous serve the corporations’ needs, would the citizenry go willingly and accept the obvious political upheavals that would have resulted from such a c-change. This would mean that the constitution would have to be shelved and the corporation’s charter would be the law that would govern the population.

I personally don’t think such a scenario is plausible as even though we live in a society where multinational corporations hold sway in our political system they cannot be seen as pulling the strings in essence they can only be the guys behind the curtain their power and control can only be latent.
