"Most people in our country, and apparently most people in the
"developed" world, have given proxies to the corporations to produce and
provide all of their food, clothing, and shelter. Moreover, they are
rapidly giving proxies to corporations or governments to provide
entertainment, education, child care, care of the sick and the elderly, and
many other kinds of "service" that once were carried on informally and
inexpensively by individuals or households or communities."
