Also interesting that one of the examples given is using Intellectual Property to fiddle taxes. IP itself is another thing that is sold as "being done for the good of society" but if you trace the history, it was basically a way of handing out the King's total ownership of society to his friends, giving them a monopoly on salt or whatever, very similar to giving them a monopoly on trade with india.

I do think both (intellectual property and corporations) can actually be good for society if properly regulated, I just don't think that was the original intention, nor the current status quo and it won't naturally develop in that direction without concerted effort.
