>Modern liberals have greatly expanded the list of government functions, but, aside from totalitarian regimes, I know of no modern political movement that has shortened it. We hear conservative and libertarian voices constantly decrying the expansion of government power, but what about the expansion of corporate power? Government deregulation is totally meaningless when virtually all industries are controlled by a handful of super-corporations with more capital and internal legal structure than most countries. The only way deregulation can have a whisper of a chance of ushering in a better market is if we also insist on the abolition of the multinational corporation, and break up the behemoths into competing regional conglomerates. Of course, without any regulation, a single victor will soon emerge to impose its own will.
