I like big business for economies-of-scale and efficiency. Big corporations also provide wealth & can counter public sector corruption when they choose to do so.
But there's no good reason mega-corporations should create and fine-tune major global trade agreements which will tie our hands and change our lives. Our governments are corrupted to communicate with corporations but not the citizenry.
Discussions have been kept secret from public scrutiny.
The projects should be trashed.
NO to TPP
Trans-Pacific Partnership
NO to TTIP
Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership
NO to TISA
Trade in Services Agreement
(abandoned already by Singapore & Uruguay)
