There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and IT&T and AT&T, and Du Pont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. These are the nations of the world today.… We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies.… The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable by-laws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale.… One vast and ecumenical holding company for whom all men will work to serve a common profit—in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.
