ABSTRACT
Professor Arthur Miller's article, "Legal Foundations of the Corporate State," is pioneering and excellent. He talks about the legal foundations on which the corporate state is built, but that conventional approach reverses the reality: law is a reflection of the politico-economic relations of society. Miller says that "a legal connection can thus be shown between corporation and the state, with the resulting synthesis a form of corporativism". The capitalist class uses its control of government not only to reinforce that control, but also to help its money-making crusade. The "law and order" enforced by capitalist governments means primarily protection of private property, and protection of overseas investments. Big business uses the private foundations to achieve more control over research and education. In addition, their control of government is utilized to obtain more control. The military spending on research helps control scientists and education.
