I've always not been fond of big corporations, and have been trying to argue that the one of the most important role of the government in the 21st century is not to be corporation friendly, but to make things "difficult" for corporations by ensuring that they are socially and environmentally responsible, that they do not influence politics in any way, and to regulate the market such that there is a more equal distribution of wealth. Yes, this is not the free-market ideology espoused by a lot of people (including the Singapore government), and this is somewhat autocratic. However, I believe that we will be for the better in the long run. If anything, at least try to keep the corporations out of politics. Want to see how corrosive it can be? Watch the clip below. The speaker is Ralph Nader and one of his speech against big corporation is being remixed with some cool background music.
