Corporate America

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COR : Corporate America

---

Corporate America is an informal phrase describing the world of corporations within the United States. Its negative connotations imply greed, a lack of social responsibility, and resistance to entitlements. Its positive connotations imply a powerful and productive capitalist society that enlarges the middle class, rewards people based on merit, and provides a ladder to success.

While "Corporate America" is commonly used interchangeably with the phrase "Wall Street", it is also sometimes used in contrast, as when distinguishing between the interests, culture, and lifestyles of major Fortune 500 industrial or service corporations with those of investment banks. In this contrast, Corporate America is usually cast as more secure, less cut-throat, but also less remunerative for an employee.

Corporate America is also the name of rock band Boston's 2002 album.
