Before corporations were people, in the US at least? http://reclaimdemocracy.org/corporate-accountability-history... Not at all going to claim it as ideal, but it's a starting point for considering other possible alternatives to today's giant, faceless corporations where nobody within the corporation is easily held accountable, etc.
A machine in which the parts of are made up of humans with 'feelings'. Distilling human beings down to cogs in a machine is bad enough when it comes from executives. This belief that corporations are some kind of non-human machine like entity is part of why the world's so fucked today.
Maybe the world would be a better place if corporations weren't run as inhuman machines with no care or regard to their employees or the world in which they operate.
