Re: Not panicked yet
The simple fact of the matter is that there is little concerted effort being made to force multinationals to pay tax. It's a problem that could be sorted out in any number of ways if the desire existed to do it.
Multinationals being too powerful is not a new thing either, the first europeon experiance with then was the East India Company, and if you think we've got problems with multinationals today then boy, have you got a surprise if you read a history book covering that era. The EIC was more powerful than it's nominally controlling government in terms of land under control, income and military size.
Multinationals these days are a problem, but they aren't directly ruling continents and could be brought under control with far less difficulty. The problem is largely bribary
