It's interesting that the government working for its own ends (rather than the public good) is called "corruption," but the private sector working for its own ends is called "innovation," or some similarly Hayek-styled argument.

But then, some people think that a society managed by the private sector would not turn into the Gilded Age all over again. Because this time would be different.
