Question

Who has the most power: governments or multinationals?

Answer 1

Governments.  Look at what happened in Venezuela and the Siberian oil fields.  Multinationals came in and built the oil fields - then the local governments simply passed laws stating that all of that investment was now the property of the state.

Governments can enforce their decisions through force.  The only alternatives a multinational has is to either deal with the situation as best they can or to flee with whatever people and assets they can rescue.

Answer 2

In an increasingly fascist environment, they are the same people.

Answer 3

Of course the multinationals.Some of the multinationals having wealth more than the GNP of smaller countries.They are well managed ,target oriented, and acts within time frame.
