The author, in effect, is arguing that morals should be subordinated to economic growth and efficiency. And morals subordinated so can make no credible claim to objectivity or relevance.

I agree. How close is this article coming to, "humans wanting corporations to tell us the truth is something human species did in the past but our species rules now so it is not important to us." to what extent are corporations able to act as living persons?

This is what Elon musk was just warning about. If different genes can come together to make superorganisms than what if corporations are the first stage in us being replaced as the dominant species?
-
They keep saying it empowers "us" but we give resources to the bugs in our intestines, we feed them, but they arn't us, we are being fed but what organism perhaps is the super organism and what happens when this new lifeform goes to war with another one

OMG. Economics is so complex and convoluted! Soooo many factors! Anybody who thinks it's easy needs 15 minutes with an economist. It's an entirely different language!
