    I’ve seen this sentiment being repeated in the replies, yet this also applies to private companies that are run by absolutely powerful people. It’s true that Lord Acton wrote this about the monarchy, but some execs in multinational corporations today are just as powerful as old-timey monarchs.

      I don’t disagree with you. My contention is that the assumption of “uncorrupt power” is just naive and short term, at best.
