After watching The Corporation and reflecting on your knowledge of business think about how businesses are run. Keep in mind limited liability and that our whole economy is based on the free market economy.  Write a paragraph explaining how you feel businesses and corporations SHOULD  be run.  Perhaps you feel that the pursuit of profit should be the most important thing or perhaps you feel that how companies need to be run very differently than they are today.  In your paragraph explain how businesses should be run.
