- You Are Correct
I think great attention needs to be paid to what is happening with multinational corporations. With large, global companies, you have situations where companies can become (and, in some cases, already have become) more powerful than sovereign countries. And they effectively rise above the law, by ducking and weaving their way through international law and diplomacy.
I wonder what Teddy Roosevelt would have to say about it all. TR was a capitalist, but he didn't like monopolies - and wasn't averse to using the government to check them. I wonder what he'd say if he were here.
