America is not a country of "total capitalism", it is a country of "total corporatism". The two are not the same. The writer of this commentary clearly does not understand what capitalism actually is. It is in essence, the separation of market and state. The market cannot control the state, and the state cannot control the market.
That is far from what America is like. One only has to look at the banking bailouts, government handouts to large corporations, and corporate lobbyists (all of which violate the separation principle) to understand this.
