Economists, academics, and activists need to find new economic models that are not based on past dogmas, but offer an alternative to serve the needs of the future. Let us not be deceived that the world can be run by corporations as some proponents of massive government deregulation suggest. This would be a disaster. Corporations are rapacious, existing solely for profit and acquisition. They cannot provide security, law, education, and other activities that only governments provide.
Global governance requires that corporations are held accountable to international law.
