Corporate Europe Observatory Doing business in Berlin (Report on TABD, Nov 99)
The Berlin conference made chillingly clear how far the construction of untransparent transatlantic corporate-government structures has evolved and how industry aims to use these structures to further strengthen its grip on decision making. This all happens with the active support of government representatives who see business demands as the natural starting point for shaping policies and pretend that conflicts with other interests (environmental, consumer, social, North-South or other) are negligible.

Schreibman, Vigdor Attack on ALA's Internet Policy Stand (Librarians' Newsgroup post, Oct 96)
. . . with the collapse of communism, capitalism is now moving to dominate the global people virtually unopposed. This trend can be clearly seen, as documented by scholars such as Kevin Phillips, Benjamin Barber, William Greider, and Lester Thurow, among many others. The ideology, which Barber has called "McWorld", is destroying democracy, enlarging social inequities in obscene terms, and threatening the very survival of the biosphere of the Planet Earth.

Tamás, G M On Post-Fascism - How citizenship is becoming an exclusive privilege (Boston Rev, Mar 00)
This concentrated global power is called by various terms, depending on which aspect of sovereignty and freedom one has in mind. So sometimes it’s called the Washington consensus, or the Wall Street/Treasury complex, or NATO, or the international economic bureaucracy (the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and IMF), or G-7 (the rich, Western, industrial countries) or G-3 or, more accurately, usually, G-1. From a more fundamental perspective, though it takes longer to say, we could describe it as an array of megacorporations, often linked to one another by strategic alliances, administering a global economy which is, in fact, a kind of corporate mercantilism tending toward oligopoly in most sectors, heavily reliant on state power to socialize risk and cost and to subdue recalcitrant elements. --Noam Chomsky (lecture at Albuquerque, 26 Feb 00)

Rikowski, Ruth The Corporate Takeover of Libraries (Information for Social Change #14, Jan 2002)
Libraries start to provide the bulk of their information through the Internet (through the People's Network), rather than traditional books. Micropayments are set up for all transactions on the Internet. Libraries cannot be excluded from the implementation of micropayments (this could be seen to constitute a barrier to trade according to the GATS. . .

In fact, we urge the IMF to get out of long-term development finance altogether.

Alexander, Bruce K Roots of Addiction in Free Market Society (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Apr 01)
A realistic discussion must recognize that addiction is mass-produced in free market society, and that, therefore, society as well as individuals must change. To define addiction as either a "drug problem" or a "disease" of aberrant individuals, is to prolong a wild goose chase. Addiction is a harmful lifestyle, which may or may not involve drugs, which more and more people in free market society are adopting as a desperate measure to prevent themselves from being crushed by severe, prolonged dislocation.
Bollier, David Public Assets, Private Profits:Reclaiming the American Commons (New America Fdn, Mar 01)
Many of the resources that Americans own as a people--forests and minerals under public lands, public information and federally financed research, the broadcast airwaves and public institutions and traditions--are increasingly being taken over by private business interests. These appropriations of common assets are siphoning revenues from the public treasury, shifting ownership and control from public to private interests,and eroding democratic processes and shared cultural values.
Denny, Charlotte Fellow Traveller (Interview with George Soros, Guardian, London 15 Jul 02)
The idea that a man who made billions betting on the financial markets sides with the anti-globalisation movement might strike some as ironic. Soros is clearly genuinely appalled at the damage wrought on vulnerable economies by the vast sums of money which flow across national borders every day.
Khor, Martin Global Economy and the Third World (IJRS, Oct 99)
[E]conomic colonialism . . . sets into motion the kinds of changes that cause the immigration and also have dire effects on the poorest countries themselves - countries whose economics have fallen under the control of foreign corporations and whose resources are raided and shipped north to the wealthiest industrial nations. The new trade rules leave Third World countries with little ability to resist or protect themselves, or seek alternative economic strategies.
Korten, David C Race to the Bottom (from 'When Corporations Rule the World', Kumarian 1995)
What the corporate libertarians call "becoming more globally competitive" is more accurately described as a race to the bottom.
Monbiot, George Economies of Scale (Guardian, 11 Nov 99)
When a single global marketplace has been engineered, across which single corporations can roam, we shall find them deaf to our entreaties. Were we to tell such monsters that we shall take our custom elsewhere, they will ask us which planet we had in mind.
Ramonet, Ignacio Planetary, Permanent, Immediate, Immaterial (Le Monde diplomatique, May, 1996)
Models of financial markets no longer refer to the natural sciences - Newtonian mechanics or organic chemistry - as a point of reference but the calculation of probabilities, the theory of games, the chaos theory, fuzzy logic and the sciences of the living. At the heart of the system lies money. "Money dominates everything", notes the economist Michel Beaud, "more intelligence and resources are devoted to its care than to saving the lives of people in difficulty. More than ever before in your societies it has become the criterion, the guide, the supreme value; it fascinates and blinds".
