Compare and contrast with the ideas explored in Robert Reich's Supercapitalism: profits for shareholders versus profits for humanity; state-sponsored monopolies for the common good; a James Burke-inspired level of "how did we get from there to here?"; etc. This reads like a (florid and dramatic) example from a revised edition of Supercapitalism looking backward from fifteen years from now.

I'd love to read the same article written two other ways: one by a publishing mainstream author who makes their living from their writing, and another by an academic who makes their academic career by writing. While interesting, this one was a bit too obviously from a librarian point of view.
