Abstract

This essay and analysis brings to light how analytics and algorithms, such as those used by United Airlines in thedecision to forcibly remove a passenger, highlights the interdependence between American business and AmericanDemocracy. The focus is on the injustices to a diverse group of stakeholders. Considering the United States SupremeCourt ruling in 2010 that corporations have rights like people do, the critical question is in the relationships of rightsof the non-corporate people; stakeholders including passengers, company personnel, management, stockholders, andthe general public. All of this is in the context of corporate culture and the evolving culture of American Democracy.The concentration on bottom line analytics and disregard for ethical treatment of various stakeholders, especiallyfare-paying passengers, weakens the respect for the integrity of rights among the variety of stakeholders. Theconsequence is an endangerment of the future of American Democracy, especially from internal self-destructiveforces of unbridled capitalism.
