We only have evidence of it in capitalist countries.
Seeing as China's government is run by scientists and doctors, yes.
So in what society is this NOT the case?
What? How does that make any sense? So what are they saying about their business people? Are they too trusted more? Or are you just making shit up as you go?
No, I misread and thought you said corporate no cooperate. Now I have no idea what you're saying.
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT CO-OPS!! THEY'RE USING THE WORD COOPERATE AS AN ADJECTIVE TO REFER TO CO-OPS!
"A COOPERATE MANAGER"
"A cooperate manager." LMAO
This smuck is like: "corporate managers---not to be confused with cooperate managers."
I removed that part, because apparently people don't get it.
But I would wager that cooperate managers would be more trusted than corporate ones. Without them being any different in all practical matters.
Also Science is not entirely capitalist, business managers are. So saying that science would be trusted more in a on capitalist society doesn't make the least bit of sense.
Oh, boy.
I suppose you are aware that it means a manager of a company co-owned by the workers, so I must admit I don't get your response?
