Many more examples corporate misbehavior. And yet strong regulations and unions are still some of the best tools we have. (Best does not mean perfect… not being naive.)

If you believe in some libertarian ideal of everything being handled by contract law and individuals, then I’m not sure there’s more to discuss.

I agree with storng regulation. Unions become pretty much the same as cooperations (they do not algn with the cooperation interest, but have their own) after a decade or so from their inception. Really not a good tool from the civilian point of view IHMO.

Having been in the military and worked in universities and corporations… I’m skeptical of any large group of people (grew up Catholic too… churches don’t get off the hook here). But again how else do we solve problems except by collective action? Big groups of flawed people! Democracy is messy but the alternatives are worse.
