why shouldn't business interests hold sovereignty?

I can't understand how anyone brought up in a democratic country would ask that question.



Because, being the devil's inquirer, I'm interested in the answers.


If the answer is so basic, please articulate a response.


Because the business isn't a government so it is only designed to make, market, and sell widgets not continue society in a stable/efficient way. The externalities of a government solely focused on widget making would likely destroy everyone elses lives.
