I'm writing a paper about this documentary called The Corporation. It is about the origin of the greatest companies in the world and how they act in our community. Are corporations monsters devoring profits at anyone's expense or are they constructive members of society?

Actually I should relate it to productive processes (e.g. fordism, toyotism) but I also want to focus on corporations behaviors towards the business market and population, as well as sustentability, which is related to the concept of externalities and consequently to capitalism and ideas about law aspects of corporations. I may as well mention and give examples to support my opinion, like incidents (famous or not) involving big companies. I found very interesting the Monsanto stuff in the 90's, but there are so many bad apples in the business market and I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas. In the conclusion, I want to relate everything with ancient Greek people that had already warned us about the consequences of the use of extreme rationality (or instrumental rationality) by men (I will probably mention the myth of Asclepius). Anyway, I already know how I'm going to write it, but I could use ideas and research materials, as well as personal opinions. Please?
