I remember being in college and practically getting kicked out of my finance professor's office (we used to have lengthy discussions) for "daring" to suggest that the corporatocracy version of US capitalism would fall apart, much like east-bloc style communism. He was outraged!

I will be glad to see the old model die, too. I hope the idea of corporations being "a person" gets chopped out of existence, as part of the process.

I'm all in favor of what I call "Mom and Pop capitalism." I hope it returns...
