*<< Businesses have an incentive to control anything that has power over
them, including institutions from the media to academia to popular culture,
and thus will try to capture them as well. They call this phenomenon "deep
capture." >>*

*"The most basic prediction of the “deep capture” hypothesis is that there
will be a competition over the situation (including the way we think) to
influence the behavior of individuals and institutions and that those
individuals, groups, entities, or institutions that are most powerful will
win that competition."*

*
*"**This Part examines the relative power (measured as the ability to
influence situation) of large commercial interests today, much like the
power of the Catholic Church in Galileo’s day."*
