"I'm not saying that widespread global corporate action is evil in and of itself."

I'll go out on a limb and suggest that it is.

I dunno; to declare oneself to be "against" globalization or multinational corporations or whatever seems to me to be akin to being "against" the weather. It's a fact of life in the world as we know it at this stage of human evolution, and is probably the only possible agent of quick and widepread change of any kind, both for better and for worse.

The problem lies in finding ways for thinking human beings to counterbalance, if not control, corporate action, which has a "mind" of its own, metaphorically speaking. The logic by which wealth finds ways to perpetuate itself can be powerful, and often flies directly in the face of human motives and desires.
