But are they really bringing products that are wanted to the marketplace, or do they, to a very great extent, create the demand themselves? And are they creating a demand for things that are harmfull to people and the world in the long run? To the extent that this may be true, corporations like those have no use to mankind on the whole.

An enlightened self-interest approach would be to provide a product that is really needed, and that won't cause ultimate harm to people or the earth. And provide a living wage for the people who work for the companies that make them. I think, eventually, that is what we will have. But I also think there will be a lot of upheaval before that happens.
