    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?

      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.

      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.
