I think you should reverse your stand and investigate how well American small to medium businesses make their goods and provide their services. I do believe 1000's of shareholder owner corporations have lost that ability, but med to small businesses provide the larger share of the GDP.

To further my point, I think the more money is the focus of the business, whether for shareholders or simply profit (like Goldman Sachs), the more corrupt they are. General Motors is a great example as you pointed out. If they were just about cars, it may have been different.
