Corporate States of America?

What if presidents like TR were not around to make the presidency stronger, and put limits on big business? And then corporations got so much power, that they now rule America.

Not that, I just have no idea why.

But in any case, I doubt the name of the USA would change to Corporate States of America.

Wouldn't that be more like: Ye dinna ken hae t'speak Scots?

I seem to recall a sci-fi movie that considered an entirely corporate world in the early 21st century. That movie starred John Houseman and James Caan, and was called...

ROLLERBALL
