We so easily forget that corporations are legal and financial inventions of humanity, too often now the tail wags the dog and they have become the oppressors of humanity in many places, many cases. Freed from national control and all but the scarcest legal accountability they can tyrannise and make life miserable for many and endanger to long-term viability of our ecosystem. That is of course the case against. The case for is that they enable big projects and harmonise human effort for the greater and common good. That's the case for. And this is one of those areas where the truth lies at both extremes.
The website in the title of this blog highlights the danger of having granted corporations legal staus as persons and seeks to revoke that status in USAmerica. Will it work? Who knows -but it should be that corporations are made more socially accountable somehow.How to represent the interests of stakeholders in a meaningful way?
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
