Capitalism: Is it Working?
#11
RE: Capitalism: Is it Working?
Corporations should have influence in politics as interest groups. Not through buying parlarment but through bringing forward their concerns.

Demanding inferstructure projects to create better grounds for market interactions (roads, rails, waterways, housingprojects)
Demanding taxcuts for social investments such as in nurseries, hospitals or schools.
demanding taxcuts for special economic interest zones.
they should have influence in foreign policie concerning trade agreements.

the list of concerns possible for a company with goverments is endless.

I simply think it is wrong to buy yourself a law from parlament (like in the US) or from the head of goverment (like in the UK and France).
total transparicy concerning interactions between goverment and cooperations would be capable of doing away with the kind of corruption which some morons gave the nice sounding name "lobbying".
Best example of how something like this can work is Denmark.
