Remarkable, considering that Friedman died about a year ago. Throwing him into the mix with Chomsky probably makes for a very spirited analysis, but I'm not going to sit here for three hours to have my suspicions validated (I might watch it later, if I'm bored). Exploring the intersection of organizational psychology and sociology--through the pinhole aperture of individual psychoanalysis--is, indeed, a fascinating approach, but it also smacks of our culture's modern desire to therapize everything.

Instead of personifying the corporation, making the inhuman more understandable, we usually demonstrate only how strange and unmanageable it has become. The same approach could be taken for governments, nations, and religious movements...but these yield diminishing returns. If someone would like to chuck a Rhode Island-sized Prozac at Microsoft or Halliburton, however, then I'm all for it.
