Destabilizing corporate expansion

Claim

A particularly disturbing aspect of the present era of economic uncertainty is the incidence of unregulated corporate expansion in the public as well as in the private sector. The importance placed on expansion by large-scale economic forces means that human, environmental and even quality issues take second place. This heedless expansionism creates not only social but also economic chaos.

The world is being spun around by big corporations who have an ability to produce more goods than the world can consume. And so, they focus their efforts on consuming each other, along with any smaller elements that get in the way. They do this with the approval of government policy, and international treaties, which are designed to create a world fit for the corporations to dominate. This is an unsustainable state of affairs.
