I recently read that out of the 100 largest economic units in the world today, 49 of them are countries and 51 of them are corporations. Can we simply digest that for a minute? What does that mean?

It means that corporations are the driving force of decision making today. Corporations are not concerned with human rights. They are not concerned with human life.

We have become a consumers' society driven by economics. We should be a human society driven by common sense. We are all born with "common" sense.
