Corporate libertarianism is a term coined by David Korten, who wrote When Corporations Rule the World.
The term refers to a "corporate ideology" that seeks to establish a situation in which:
- multinational corporations control governments.
- nations' parliaments and congresses become subject to corporate interests.
- nations' constitutions become subservient to international corporate laws.
- multinational corporations work to remove regional culture, including language.
- an effort is made to set up a worldwide government that is not democratic and serves corporate interests.
- humanity is separated into two classes: the corporate class (the good) and everyone else (the bad).
- freedom for the corporate class is a given, and they enjoy wealth.
- freedom for the serf class is an unknown, and they are either outright deprived of rights or are caught in debilitating debt traps that amount to slavery.
