Limited liability for corporations isn't unconstitutional.

However, Im very interested to hear how you propose to make an economy work without limited liability.

I dont think you have anything like a plan for that, and have confused the behavior of a few large corportations with corporatioms in general, while simultaneously missing the actual social structures causing the problems you list and the benefits of corporations.

Fwiw, I'd be interested to hear how you think the current system could work if we didn't come along and bail the economy out every few years by backing these bad business debts with public money.

> corporations in general

The sole defining characteristic of a corporation is limited liability. Everything else a corporation is, is inherent it being a group of people.

Further, all benefits we enacted corporate law to provide are now handled much more directly by bankruptcy statutes and welfare. You don't have to risk everything to engage in a business anymore.

So many benefits you couldn't list them all in the space provided? You favor a system where I pay for the crimes your business commits so the burden of proof is yours.
