This interview with author, filmmaker, and professor of law at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Joel Bakan, wrestles with the psychopathic nature of corporations as he and the interviewer, Dr. Mark Laver, work toward locating the positive outcomes improvisational practices may yield in corporate work environments. Aporetic toward optimistic outlooks on the implementation of improvisation in these businesses, Dr. Bakan addresses the legal ramifications that produce an insular conception of investment and responsibility that deters from these idealistic visions. Still, in the midst of these obstacles, the conversation produces potential for a radical improvisation outside of consumerist culture, leading us to see that social change begins at a local level.
