Strong governments are an obstacle to corporate ambitions of taking over the resources of the country.
- choonkeymoonkey 13y agoBecause those strong governments surely don't mean to exploit the resources of the country to buy themselves gold plated private jets...
- crusso 13y agoThat's an unfortunately popular belief, but not the way things happen in the real world. In the real world, corporations use and corrupt the facilities of governments to undermine restrictions on the behaviors they want while supporting restrictions on newcomers to their markets or against their customers. Blindly strengthening government without dealing unambiguously with corruption only strengthens the weapon that these crony capitalists have to use against their competitors and customers.
