The Corporation

:03:02
I see the corporation
as part of a jigsaw

:03:05
in society as a whole
:03:07
which if you remove it
:03:08
the picture’s incomplete.
:03:10
But equally if it's
the only part

:03:13
it's not going to work.
:03:16
A sports team.
:03:17
Some of us are
blocking and tackling.

:03:19
Some of us
are running the ball

:03:20
some of us are
throwing the ball.

:03:22
But we all have
a common purpose

:03:24
which is to succeed
as an organization.

:03:28
A corporations
like a family unit.

:03:30
People in a corporation work
together for a common end

:03:37
Like the telephone system
:03:39
it reaches almost
everywhere.

:03:42
It's extraordinarily powerful
it's pretty hard to avoid.

:03:46
And it transforms
the lives of people

:03:48
I think on balance
:03:50
for the better.
:03:53
The eagle
:03:54
soaring clear eyed
competitive

:03:59
prepared to strike
but not a vulture.

:04:03
Noble visionary majestic
that people can believe in

:04:09
and be inspired by
:04:11
that creates such
a lift that it soars.

:04:15
I can see that being
a good logo

:04:18
for the principled
company.

:04:24
Okay guys
enough bullshit.

:04:30
Corporations are
artificial creations.

:04:33
You might say
they’re monsters

:04:35
trying to devour as much
profit as possible

:04:39
at anyone's expense.
:04:43
I think of a whale.
:04:45
A gentle big fish
:04:48
which could swallow you
in an instant.

:04:52
Dr. Frankenstein's creation
:04:56
has overwhelmed and
overpowered him.

:04:59
As the corporate form
has done with us.
