re: Frankenstein's monsters.
"Businesses used to be owned and run by businessmen, the capitalists, entrepreneurs and hommes d'affaires you have so much admiration for. But increasingly, businesses are now collectively owned (there's that word again) and they are run by mere employees, professional managers, who have little choice but to carry out their instructions IN SERVICE to their firms. They do not set policy, they execute policy set by faceless accountants and distant financiers in an abstract world of money and numbers that does not even know we exist."
So, you are saying that businesses are almost like the government?
