On June 1st, I conducted an interview with Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power. The book is the selection for the One Book, One Vancouver city-wide book club. In it, he argues that publicly-traded corporations, in their Anglo-American form, are effectively psychopathic organizations, and that we need to redemocratize government in order to constrain the destructive behaviour of corporations.
