The people all around the world are becoming increasingly dependent on a small number of large multinational businesses. Monsanto controls 90% of the production of genetically modified seeds.

Everyday 150 million people throughout the world buy a Unilever product without even realising it. Mc Donalds, serve 58.1 million meals a day around the world. Of the 100 largest economies of the world, 51 of them are businesses. The state loses power at the same rate as businesses gain it.
