"...corporate economic power is increasingly translating into political power. This is what I worry about. Large corporations maintain very significant lobbying operations with substantial resources. They employ lobbyists, lawyers, consultants, and, of course, former political advisers and even cabinet ministers. They secure access to ministers and officials that ordinary people rarely enjoy. Their influence can shape legislation, regulation and government contracts. The resulting political system is anything but the level playing field that the proponents of market economies suggest should exist if they are to operate efficiently."
