[cont from title link...] Which raises an important point. Can an automaker or a company become a trust by itself, if it is large enough? Can a company of a certain size depending on the market automatically be a trust, regardless of their economic activity, based on the laws of capitalism and standard industry business model?
Whose authority is it to adjudicate international companies guilty of breaking this law? Certainly it must be the World Court, or signatory members of the public World Trade Organization, or a UN Business branch, complete with customer/worker's Bill of Rights.
...or in a world democracy, a referendum jury of the citizens of the countries in which the company does business, weighted by amount of business in $ done in each country, and the level at which the company's entire market share affects business in each country.
This includes companies with a major ownership share in one another. I must call for the analysis of the world investment map. It may become necessary to classify extremely wealthy companies or company-umbrella-conglomerations as individual organizations and determine their ownership of assets to constitute a monopoly or not. As well, a group of companies that own a large enough portion of a market, but which are themselves owned or primarily invested in by an individual or family, or 'investment group' of individuals should be analyzed for breach of contract, classification as 'government' due to the power of their wealth, and counseled or scheduled for legitimacy of owning such a large portion of world power and wealth independent of the laws restraining and defining governments. If these people or companies constitute a 'world government' by wealth and ownership, they shall be subject to the laws defining and organizing any government.

This raises certain questions, if these megacompanies or megainvestors do exist. Because the laws of any single nation cannot rule the entire world, and because of the massive and compelling and frankly *vital* amount of wealth these people or companies control, are they governments? They may control an amount of world resources that are critical assets for the survival of large portions of the human population. If you or your investment group owns some $10 trillion dollars, you are bound by certain responsibilities in the same way that people are bound to the earthen land that you own.
If this corporate bloc decided to stop production, dramatically shift production, or left for Ghana, they could easily replace the majority of West Africa and set up world industry there instead. they would have the power to attract skilled workers from the whole globe and menial workers from anywhere they choose. They would have the money to purchase influence and to work around and through nearly any law they desire.
Do these people exemplify capitalism and the frank right or ability to own enough of the world to excess that it destroys or could destroy others who do not own its money? Tens of millions of people die of lacks in food, medical attention, shelter, and an unimaginable amount of pain and mental anguish result from shortage every year. So long as this corporate bloc has control of this material, they are liable for creating these shortages, as the people in those spaces have *no alternative* but death, as a result of excessive ownership.
I will see you in court.
