Props to you, Luddhunter, for being honest. I'd very much commend to you the bits of Adam Smith where he fulminates on the inequities of the joint stock corporation. You can find a good summary here if you've turned your copy of the Wealth of Nations into Adam Smith-themed toilet paper. If you like what you read, then you and I will find ourselves unlikely allies, finding Mr Smith's thoughts on the economy far more sophisticated and commendable than those of either of the Democratic or Republican presidential candidates.
