    I’ve now seen “corporate capitalism” on more than one occasion and I don’t understand what distinction it’s trying to draw from plain capitalism. What am I missing?

      In theory, there is also “laissez-faire capitalism” which also boils down to deregulation, but in a less direct way.

        Yeah I guess I’m wondering what form of capitalism OP thinks doesn’t have this problem, as implied to me by the specificity.

      Corporate, meaning the legal protections of incorporation, scaled to preposterous size.

      Every Denny’s should be blown to smithereens, but I’m not opposed to the kind of capitalism where a couple of people own a restaurant, paying some people a decent wage and feeding me ham, & eggs for $8.99.

        thanks for the explanation, I can see your point which I think is that some narrow and heavily regulated capitalist systems would be compatible with sustainable living.

        I don’t see it as practical or meaningful enough of a distinction but it clarifies things.
