Indeed, I had started out on a rant/metaphor about how this was like the early days of unionism. I deleted it because the metaphor didn't really hold up.

Could you really see all the countries of the world agreeing to set corporate tax at a certain minimum? And then keeping this agreement? Without looking for some sneaky loophole to get their own (short term) advantage?

Corporations play governments off against each other all the time. Tax rates and breaks, labour laws, environmental laws, etc etc. are all under pressure.

Despite the obvious risks, an effective world government would seem to be the only solution. Only question is, how long 'til the corporate interests buy control of that as well?
