What is the general theory that psychopathology is rewarded and encouraged by the structure of corporations in capitalist society? As opposed to what? Why more so than other structures, such as rising through the ranks of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union (or any political party for that matter). In fact, is it not more correct to say that psychopathology always has existed and will always exist, and capitalism efficiently and productively channels psychpathology (as opposed to uniquely encouraging it), which is the Lockean defense of capitalism?
Regarding corporations, everybody should be happy to know that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held this week that a corporation can sue for violations of civil rights protecting against racial discrimination, which necessarily required the Court to hold that a corporation can have a race. Tinket Ink Information Resources, Inc. v. Sun Microsystems, Inc., 2004 WL 1088296 (9th Cir. 2004). Finally, congratulations to Doug Henwood, whose latest book received a not entirely unfavorable review in the latest issue of Reason Magazine. David Shemano
