More on the companies that control the world’s wealth
Earlier I blogged a brief story on the small network of companies that control most of the world’s wealth. Here’s more detail in the current issue of New Scientist, along with links.
Also, an interesting article from ProPublica on the noticeable lack of investigations and indictments following the financial debacle. I know that I have readers who believe that no laws were broken, but without an investigation, how do we know? (Of course, we can ask Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and others whether they broke any laws, but I’m pretty sure I can predict their answers.)
I even have one reader who believes that, once something is made illegal, companies are somehow unable to do it. (See comments at the first link.)
