The fundamental problem, as Alan Murray wrote in The Wall Street Journal, is that the modern corporation might have outlived its usefulness. He says "the best corporate managers have become, in a sense, enemies of the corporation.
"The reasons for this are clear enough. Corporations are bureaucrats and managers are bureaucrats. Their fundamental tendency is toward self-perpetuation. They are, almost by definition, resistant to change. They were designed and tasked, not with reinforcing market forces, but with supplanting and even resisting the market."
So what do we have? Two immovable objects -- the big corporation and the even bigger U.S. government, both loaded with bureaucratic caution and inertia -- trying to cope with the biggest recession since the Great Depression. Not a very good combination to get things going again.
