They want the same thing every corporation wants - power. Power to make a profit.

So what do you think they're in business for? Their health? Besides, power doesn't make a profit. What makes a company profit is offering/delivering the consumer something he wants and at a reasonable price.

Pepsi-Cola, Sony and British Airways can't force you to use thier product. They don't have the power. Only the goverment can and will force its product on the consumer. It is only governments, not industries, that have "thr power".

My point was exactly that. They're in buisiness to show the investor body a profit. Why else would one invest?

A corporation needs political power and ties to open avenues of opportunity here and especially abroad. Friends in high places usually help remove obstacles for capitalist(or communist) exploitation.


Exploitation can be a bad or good thing. IMHO
