Would You Trust This Corporation?

·Nov 8, 2024

Imagine being told that the key to social justice is to set up a gigantic Corporation, much larger than any other. This Corporation would have trillions of dollars in revenues. It would have a monopoly on some extremely important market and use that to extend its control into other markets. It would hire men with guns to force customers to buy its product at any price it chooses. It would regularly bomb the employees and customers of corporations in other countries.

Would you trust this Corporation more than any other to work in the interest of society as a whole, to not abuse its power over its customers, to protect them from criminals and from all other corporations? You might have some doubts. Then imagine learning that every adult would be given one share of stock in this Corporation, allowing them to vote for members of the board of directors.

Would this put your doubts to rest? Are national governments very different from this gigantic Corporation? Can they be trusted to selflessly serve and protect the rest of society?
