As a matter of fact, big business today thinks and acts globally, not nationally, while politics still is nationally. That's why economny successfully evades politically control in a nation and must not care for social responsebilities it owes to the national communties who once brought it up and fostered it - it evades onto the global level, leaves responsebilities behind, moves to international places that are more friedly to it's interest, and it rotates it's money and activities around the globe 24h a day, following the dawning sun day by day. And that is the reason why political control, bound to the national level, and voter's decisions, more and more got weakened in past years and economy today is the real controlling power of today's goings. No wonder that economy finds globalization such a great thing! It does not care for the misery it creates in your country. Or my country. Or any country.

Countries have become close to irrelevant. Corporation is the name of the new age.
