Mr W- Whilst the US corporations in America may conform to some ruling in an American court the capitalist corporations of other countries (eg Russia, Japan, Europe) are not so constrained. The chinese govt backed organisations are introducing a whole new way of squeezing the last ounce out of its workers, as do many of the businesses now being carved up in the former Eastern European countries. And how the new businesses of Iraq will function will be interesting to see.

The nature of corporations has to be to make money, to create not only wealth but also debt and most of all to expand, to grow larger and larger consuming greedily as they go.
