BP and the US Government: A case study in corporatism

Rich Lowry describes how BP rebranded itself as the 'green'  energy company even as industry insiders knew it as the 'corner cutter'.  Of course, corporatism is the economic arm of fascism.  The bigger and more intrusive the state gets, the greater the returns to companies for manipulating said state.  For the giant corporation it is the only rational response.  Thus the two great predators of liberty join to become one.
