Shut up.

I was going to try. But ...
Quote:
"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."
Question #1
What does "should" mean?
I harbor no animosity toward "humanity".

But as I understand it, "globalisation" is substantially a manifestation of international commerce. That in turn involves "trans-national corporations", as well as other corporations. And few if any of their "bottom lines" are humanitarian.

So if the question is, do I think corporations should stop being commercial enterprises, and all become humanitarian organizations, my answer is a resounding NO !!!

It wouldn't work.
