Well I would money, power and control have been the main causes of so many battles since the inception of this world.
So many Empires ruled the world and some masterminds control the world and same thing is happening in today's world.
In modern era we're not attacked by Guns but we're attacked and controlled by Capitalism.
Big Corporations, Banks and financial Institutions controls world economy.
peoples says there are some secrets societies who control everything.
This is how it is, and everyone gets what he struggle for.
I am quite sure that Capitalism is not the problem. You even mentioned it yourself. Corporations having massive influence in politics is NOT capitalism, but corporatism. And the way out is not more laws by politics (which harm normally the smaller enterprises and let the big ones profit ), but freedom and really free trade.
Yeah I got your point, and the term Corporatism.
Yeas this is happening all over the SME and other small organisation often become the victim.
