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.
