Then along came the corporation. Now the reason the corporation looks bigger than the government is that the corporation is bigger than the government. Of the 100 largest economies on Earth now 51 are corporations. And as the corporation has grown in size and power we’ve seen a change in the government where they’re a little more concerned in making sure everything’s working out for those guys than for us.

80% of the planet’s original forests are gone. In the Amazon alone we’re losing 2000 trees a minute. That is seven football fields a minute. And what about the people who live here? Well according to these guys, they don’t own these resources, even if they’ve been living there for generations. The done own the means of productions and they’re not buying a lot of stuff. And in this system ,if you don’t own or buy a lot of stuff, you don’t have value.

Globally 200,000 people a day are moving from environments that have sustained them for generations, into cities, many to live in slums… looking for work no matter how toxic that work may be.
