Talk:How to Reform Multi-national Corporations

For-profit
I think you are totally on the right track in this Wikibook. However, I think that a core cause of corporation irresponsibility is passive ownership. The fact that corporations ostensibly exist for the sole reason of making profits for disinterested public shareholders makes it extremely difficult for the moral sensibilities of the constituent humans involved to manifest. I'm afraid that meaningful corporation reform has to address the problem of ownership. Selling a corporation back to the public is equivalent to plowing the sea.

I understand that "repeatability" is a big attraction for selling corporations back to the public. But is there another way? Is it possible to form an umbrella not-for-profit that more slowly buys and reforms corporations, using their revenues to purchase more corporations, and using goodwill to dominate market share? Is goodwill-enabled organic growth a possible "secret weapon"?
