Yes, and, as usual, the fish stinks from the head. Most businesses are led by a bunch of dimwitted idiots who got their position by inheritance and/or nepotism and breathe that neoliberal spirit of boundless egotism. They will happily claim the work of others as their own, and wholeheartedly believe that lie themselves. Of course the underlings whose sole purpose is to entertain their whims aren’t worth of any decent pay nor recognition, and heavens forbid you allow them independent thought.

With states, it’s not any different. (conincidentally, the neoliberal cleptocrats in power almost globally think states should be run like businesses)
