1920s America faced what would be considered actual unrestricted corporate influence

and that was bad, and the Progressives thought they dealt with it

but they really only caused other problems lol

corporatism =/= capitalism

they solved nothing

they just shifted the issues

not real capitalism

you keep pointing at this thing, that isn't what that thing is.

capitalism is a free and open market -- corporatism is not all of capitalism

there are different degrees and aspects to such a concept

it is flawed, as all human institutions are, and some types are better and worse than others, but it is by far the best socioeconomic system devised thus far

FYI

the concept behing capitalism is free enterprise

Capitalism arose in the 1600's

for whatever reason, a lot of people seem to misconstrue capitalism as pure corporatism or something it is not

yes, it is

do you agree?

free enterprise and private ownership of industry

so the state can't control what the corp does

so if they wanted to import immigrants there's nothing the state can do

under laissez-faire capitalism, yes, but free enterprise =/= total 100% freedom of corporation

free enterprise is the freedom to choose your service and not be forced into one monopoly

(((ayn rand)))

there should be regulations to the market, but it should not be limited as to hinder private ownership and your economic freedoms

agreed

but that's easily subverted

its what you had

and the corporationism easily took hold

it is not only corporations, though -- they do play a part, but the Government is at major fault as well

agreed as well

the concept of "too big to fail" creates problems

they are the ones that take the money after all

u have issues with outsourcing your jobs

the Government and big corporations should never be allies lol

again... all for the bottom line

that is also because of regulations, though

it is more complex than simple corporatism

if a corporation is failing

It is due to its own fault and should die

in the US, there are a lot of business regulations that have been enacted
