:17:01
you know let somebody
else deal with that.

:17:04
Let's let somebody else
supply the military power

:17:07
to the middle east to protect
the oil at its source.

:17:10
Let's let somebody else build
the roads that we can drive

:17:14
these automobiles on.
:17:16
Let's let somebody
else have those problems

:17:20
And that is where
externalities come from

:17:23
that notion of let somebody
else deal with that.

:17:26
I got all I can
handle myself.

:17:29
A corporation is an
externalizing machine

:17:31
in the same way that a shark
is a killing machine.

:17:35
Each one is designed
in a very efficient way

:17:39
to accomplish
particular objectives.

:17:42
In the achievement
of those objectives

:17:44
there isn’t any question
of malevolence or of will.

:17:48
The enterprise
has within it

:17:50
and the shark
has within it

:17:52
those characteristics that
enable it to do that

:17:54
for which it was designed.
:17:56
The pressure is
on the corporation

:17:58
to deliver results now
:18:02
and to externalize
any cost

:18:04
that this unwary
or uncaring public

:18:06
will allow it
to eternalize.

:18:20
To determine the kind
of personality

:18:21
that drives the corporation
:18:22
to behave like
an externalizing machine

:18:25
we can analyze it
:18:26
like a psychiatrist
would a patient.

:18:30
We can even formulate
a diagnosis

:18:32
on the basis of typical
case histories of harm

:18:34
that is inflicted
on others

:18:37
selected from a universe
of corporate activity.

:18:55
Well this is the office
:18:57
of the national
labour committee

:18:59
here in the garment area
of New York City.
