“during 1969, C. P. Kendleberger wrote that the Nation's State is just about through as an economic unit. He added that the U.S. Congress and right-wing-know-nothings in all countries were unaware of this. He added the world is too small. Two hundred thousand ton tank and ore carriers and air buses and the like will not permit sovereign independence of the Nation's state in economic affairs. Before that, Emile Durkheim stated, ``The corporations are to become the elementary divisions of the state, the fundamental political unit.'' Now I am going to repeat that. ``The corporations are to become the elementary division of the state, the fundamental political unit. They will efface the distinction between public and private, dissect the democratic citizenry into discrete functional groupings which are no longer capable of joint political action''. Durkheim went so far as to proclaim that, ``Through corporatisms' scientific rationale, it will achieve its rightful standing as the creator of collective reality.'' There is little question that part of these two statements are accurate.”
