Well, it's an image whose essential characteristics are workoholism, an obsession with profit and control; a complete at-homeness with that particular combination of sterility and sleaze that is known as "corporate culture"; a choking off of vast potentialities of inner and outer life; a narrowing of vision so that everything is reduced to selling and buying. It locates the apex of manhood in an antiseptic ruthlessness and in man's self-realization as a money-making machine. If this is not an oppressive model to follow, then I don't know what is. -m
