Replace "corporation" with "many people" and this sentence has as much
truth as before. I think the problem is more properly blamed on human
nature than on corporations. So the question becomes, how do we organize
the world to try to do better than human nature? So far, no one has
come up with a better way than corporations. The anti-globalization
movement really bothers me, not because I don't think corporations
need to be kept in check, but rather because I mostly hear a lot
of whining from protesters but not much creative and constructive
things going on to improve the situation around the world.
