A person would have to live in a cave, or be so willfully ignorant, not to have heard of 'the corporate takeover' and Globalisation - probably the biggest grizzly bear since Communism.OVERVIEW
I'm hearing the theory, roughly, as that the multinational corporations are expanding their pie fingers to such a degree, that contemporary nations must feel like the poor fat kid in gym class.
As this goes on, while the new Corporate royalty/elite lives large on massivly expanding control and power, poor Joe Worker, and anyone else with less than a few billion dollars, gets it right where it hurts.
Generally, the theme is bad bad bad, they're taking over the world, we'll all have to work in sweatshops for bosses who see us as nothing but cannon fodder.
If anyone disagrees with this theme, please
put your opinion.MY QUESTION
Q=Is it really so bad?
As it stands, surely said multi-national corporation could simply be seen as a slightly differing form of national government - where the real issue is that we're all still working out how it all relates - where we've had the nation thing down for a few centuries - with treaties and diplomats, and such...
I'm of the mind of a Peter F. Hamilton book - set on a large world
beginning with G, since I can't recall the name. Suffice to say, basically, corporations nominally controlled the world, and 'national' boundaries were more patchwork - but a kind of harmony was, still, attained - with no more stress than contemporary nations feel.
Cheecky tart.
