The global economy that the WTO is now intended to police has worked
remarkably well for the multinationals. By 1999 the United Nations
Development Program was reporting that multinationals accounted for a third
of all global exports. A wave of cross-border mergers is creating
megacorporations. The ten largest corporations in each sector controlled 86
percent of the telecommunications industry, 85 percent of the pesticides
industry, 70 percent of the computer industry, 35 percent of
pharmaceuticals, 32 percent of commercial seed.

"We are creating the most significant new jurisdiction
we've known since the Louisiana purchase, yet we are
building it just outside the constitution's review."
