Pluses and minuses, and I work with real life rather then a novel.


True. But we are still in the infancy of these type of global companies, and remember the "invisable hand" will sort them out over time. Nothing is perfect, and they will not be, but they are going to do a much better job for people than any of the present "claptrap" third world governments are doing.

Think of all the countries around the world that we look at and say, "the problems there are not solvable." They are prime candidates for multinationals to end up running. They won't do it directly, and it will always be a mixture. Hell, we still have Kings, when that concept was disproven 200 years ago.

I won't be around to see it, but I am sure that is the direction we are heading, because it is proving to be workable, when nothing else is. The concept that the world is going to end up as a bunch of democratic Peorias is nonsense.
