How could global corporations be leveraged to raise the standard of living for large populations of humanity living in third world regions of the globe?
Great question.
One of the great shifts of the 20th century business was the alignment of employee and employer interest, whether in the form of Ford' profit sharing or Walton's stock options. Perhaps one of the great shifts of the 21st century will be the alignment of corporate and community interest, whether in the form of shared ownership, investment taxes (build a factory here and you have to invest 10% in local schools or some such).
That's the long, speculative answer. The short, definite answer is, I wonder too.
