I think ideally:
1. First, Monty City holds LaLa corp accountable to what society deems morally acceptable. LaLa corp doesn't generate profits out of thin air--the people of Monty City generate that wealth
2. Then, LaLa corp flees for the less regulated Carlo City
3. Finally, Moo Corp, a new organization that solves the same problem as LaLa corp, launches. Warned by seeing LaLa corp held accountable and driven out, they avoid the actions that would make Monty City eject them
In the real world there are people who are hurt in this process, but what's the alternative? Being held captive by LaLa forever? Is that better?
- Gpetrium 8y ago1. You are forgetting that with today's globalized society and its MNCs, sometimes 75%+ of the profit comes from elsewhere (whether a different country or city or state). A automobile factory won't be selling most of their cars to Monty city right? The labor and infrastructure can also be found elsewhere sometimes at a discount. 3. It can take decades to build an industry or/and expertise. The structure of the business itself can be hard to model. Besides, you have now lost a leader in the industry and will now try to catch-up. That is one of the tricky aspects of this issue, how much hurt is society willing to take for X wrong that someone or a company did? Both society, the individual and businesses have to be smart about it and balance the risks/rewards.
