I absolutely agree that mutiNational corps are a bigger problem that sovereign governments. One of the compelling arguments is the "too big to fail" argument put forward to justify the bailouts of the Banks from the 2008 financial crises.
That "too big to..." argument is now evidently extended to include: * "Too Big To Manage" ( with only celebrity executives ) * "Too Big To Punish" ( Facebook's share price went up when the markets realized that a $5billion fine was a trivial cost of doing business ) * "Too Big To Control" (by any country worried about job losses to another or via Trade Wars) * etc. Things will change simply because elected representaives will not restrict the growth in taxation. In Canada, Taxes are now larger than the costs of living. This is an unstable situation that will have consequences. Open communication technologies that counter government "spin" are essential to efficient progress. ~Hans > IMO.
