While the oil industry, the defense industry, military contractors and the banking industry are evil in ways you've only read about, they DO provide useful services. The corporate takeover industry does nothing but destroy.

They're the financial equivalent of a guy with a wrecking ball. Except that in the case of the corporate raider class, a lot of the companies they wreck don't need to be.
