I am puzzled about the… identification of “corporate greed” as the cause of social and economic exploitation. It is merely the symptom of philosophical liberalism that fosters an economic practice that privileges self-regarding behaviour, which is expected to lead to public virtue…. by the mid-1970s… the Anglo-American liberal democracies had full confidence that they no longer needed the co-operation of organized labour… [and] went to work in attacking social programs and the right of workers to unionize their workplaces.
