ABSTRACT

Within a relatively small component of a large politico-economic system, we sometimes can find a replica of the entire system itself. To understand the totality, it is sometimes worth closely investigating the particularity. (The ontogeny recapitulates the phylogeny.) In this chapter we will look at a particular kind of corporation, a privately owned power utility, and we will see how it reflects, in its way, the profiteering, deceptive practices, and criminal irresponsibility of the entire corporate system itself.
