Eventually, all companies are replaced.

Factories not what they used to be - they're all extremely high-tech.

A lot of companies are global.

More than half the world's largest 100 economies are corporations. They have no loyalties to place or citizens.

Frankly, I don't know how many companies there are, globally, which are truly global.

Corporations are the new dictators.

I believe that companies are, above all, agents of transformation.

Corporations are like countries now, there's a king, there are serfs, there's a court, basically everything but moats. They're feudal societies, and there are good ones and bad ones.

Governments have been ceding power to big multinational corporations in the market. We see the manifest in a variety of ways. Where governments are giving up power to big international institutions like the World Trade Organization or NAFTA, which are disabling governments' ability to protect the rights of their own people.

Large companies are not going to disappear. Multinational companies with tens of thousands of employees are not going to disappear. In fact, many of them are getting larger because they can benefit from economies of scale.
