No one can deny that. But I am not sure, I would broad-brush all of them as massive,money guzzling entities who are no good. <br /><br />Majority of them are good, and are extremely important to drive the economy. Of course in a perfect world all would be Angels. But lets face it; the alternatives are terrible.<br /><br />Give me a Capitalist (yeah, however bad it may sound) any day over the suffocation of Socialist regimes where the POWER lies in hands of a select few (sometimes within one family)<br /><br />Imagine life without MS,Google,GE,IBM,TATA or even for that matter Hollywood big ones.<br /><br />All have been milestones in their own way. We cannot ignore their contributions big and small. Even today, their presence helps huge number of people. <br /><br />I may sound as a red-neck, unabashed capitalist here (which I am not); and I am not denying their are wolves, but they are exception and not the law.<br /><br />Corporations provide a counter balance to all round Government monopoly.<br /><br />I don't want to start another thread on how Monopolistic regimes convert into poverty multiplying agents and create a world order where people have to run to "new avenues" for "opportunities".<br /><br />The very fact that some 'create' opportunities while other systems..'destroy' them... is a reason enuf to take a so called evil system over so called noble one.<br /><br />And when I chose US as my country for next few years, I was fully aware of it being a Capitalist society. So it was a matter of choice as far as I am concerned.<br /><br />I think I rest my case now.kautilyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196450087427067882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1051847548667699532.post-48851124670897749532009-07-28T15:08:44.589-05:002009-07-28T15:08:44.589-05:00You hit the nail with EIC, the greatest management...You hit the nail with EIC, the greatest management success story EVER. Along the Google metaphor, there actually are corporations which influence the lives of millions (and not in a good way) that exist today: Monsanto, Exxon Mobil, Shell, The Russian state owned gas company, large drug companies. These companies have altered national boundaries, changed Governments, run and/or control Government(s) or Government policies that influence so many of us everyday (without majority of us even knowing about it). The CORPORATIONS are the new NATIONS.rathchakrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881486194606181380noreply@blogger.com
