These sound like the list of symptoms that were used to 
illustrate how corporations fulfil the checklist for the 
clinical definition of a psychopath in the movie documentary 
"The Corporation".  There are some very compelling arguments 
and case histories to advance this theory.

see http://www.thecorporation.com

It's a great documentary.  The original idea of the 
corporation charter was to serve the public good. Note - 
there need be no contradiction between serving the public 
good and providing a return on investment for those who fund 
a corporation.

Over the years however, it has morphed into an entity that 
is legally accountable only to its shareholders and that 
liability is limited only to their investment.  A 
corporation has the same status as a 'person', except that 
you can't put a corporation in jail.

Kind of like some religious movements and governments.

The moral/ethical compass we use to live with one another 
and advance ourselves collectively does not point solely to 
the secular or non secular domain, but somewhere in between.
