Not to say that society would not benefit, but it does make me wonder.
And in popular culture, if we end up with people opposed to a carbon tax just because Exxon wants a carbon tax too, well it doesn't more nose-less than that.
I have problems with that statement.
In my opinion, if we start forgetting we are a society of humans that, sometimes, use corporations as a tool for collaborating, we have serious problems.
So, everybody, repeat with me: we want to maximize humans welfare. Corporations are tools.
So in summary, I'm not sure what your problem was with that statement, other than perhaps my statement was too ambiguous :)
Until the aims of multinational corporations are aligned with the aims of society at large, they will continue to be considered untrustworthy.
Um, no. I believe there's a fallacy in there somewhere but I'm not up to speed on them.
