But does anybody doubt that in class terms the influence of finance capital on the political system would be so great that a monopoly like Microsoft would not automatically be broken up.

Or that a company like Enron could finance, what is it, two thirds of the members of Congress, and both political parties in Britain?

And that when it comes to a globalisation conference, the MNC's can send delegations of pleasant well-briefed advocates who numerically swamp the champions of the wretched earth

and the wretched of the earth?
