I agree that the corporate control over the state has resulted from the people's abdication of their responsibility. We are ultimately at fault for that. The dilemma of the power to create/destroy money reminds me of the wizard's second rule: The greatest harm can result from the best of intentions.

>>Business has no power on its own. If business has power it is because the state is standing right behind it. When people talk about a "powerful businessman" they really mean that the businessman has money or connections, which obtain loyalty from government officials.<<

That sounds foreign.

Did you ever hear of entrepreneurship, or Apple?
