Bank of England Governor Mark Carney was woke AF on Monday, dropping truth bombs during a lecture at Liverpool John Moores University.
At the heart of his lecture was a warning about the issues with globalism, a game that only benefits what Carney calls “stateless corporations”.
Have you ever stopped to think about what a corporation is?
Their existence is something that only happens in our minds. In Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, the author uses the term inter-subjective-reality to describe them. They are not tangible, existing only on paper and only because we mutually agree that they are in fact an entity.
They can be immortal. Some are human-less. Many have no allegiance to any country, headquartering wherever they can hoard money at the lowest tax rate and building factories wherever they can source near-slave labor.
Governor Carney wants to see these global companies show some fucking patriotism.
“As the prime minister recently stressed, companies must be rooted and pay tax somewhere.”
The lecture is only the second major speech Carney has given since Brexit.
“Globalisation is associated with low wages, insecure employment, stateless corporations and striking inequalities.”
Contrarily, Business Insider loves globalism, and their social media team recently whipped up a fun video to show Americans just how stupid they are for wanting to buy American made wares:

Upon viewing BI’s pro-globalism video, The Fly called them out:
@businessinsider you would've been a great pitchman for slavery back in the day

For reasons unbeknownst to the average American, daytime media continues to press their globalist propaganda while ignoring the brutality of it all.
The below video does a good job of visualizing the numbers that most can’t seem to wrap their minds around, in terms of 3rd world populations and the ineffective ways developed nations try to improve their circumstances:
Governor Carney is no slouch. He sees major problems with the path being taken by stateless companies. BBC news is reporting that his lecture in Liverpool expressed serious concern that people could collectively turn their back on free markets.
“We need to move towards more inclusive growth where everyone has a stake in globalisation.”
Sounds like wishful thinking in the world of 1000 drone, soulless corporate entities.
That’s great that you read Sapiens. Wonderful book.
I do agree that corporate domination of the world is very much a problem. A problem that Bernie and Trump both pointed out, and that Hillary came to agree with Bernie on, with regard to trade agreements. So both major party presidential candidates said they saw it as a problem.
Trump claimed he would solve that problem, at least as it pertains to the U.S. Time will tell.
