It seems like, in a highly complex economy, with multinational corporations that can cause nations to bid against one another, it is easy for such corporations to become economies unto themselves, do untold evil, and leave a mess for the governments to clean up after them.  Make them "too big to fail" and have them hold economies at gunpoint.  After all, politician, you don't want large scale unemployment, do you?
