The vast majority of global brands owe 99% of their success to the original inventor, which eventually became the owner of a huge company.
You actually think these people did it all by themsleves?
Anyway they can take out all they like to get their return of investment, that is not the issue. Every item on the self today is produced by workers and they must be paid a living wage. Don't worry now only a few companies are paying a living wage but there will come a time when it will not be viable for a commpany not to pay it because people will not buy from them.
Just the sae as you would not wish to trade with a drug dealer or a rapist, exploitation of poor people will be just as much stigmatised.
The world is a changing place. One by one all the exploters will be filtered out.
By the way this idea that corporation invest huge amount and must recoup their investment is total bullshit. Real inventions are not done by corporations only what I would call non essential stuff is. Drinks, clothes etc we do not need to buy the top brands. We can get by with ordinary stuff.
But what about things which make a change to our lives in real terms? Who invented them.
Lets start with Internet, World Wide Web, Jet Engine, Penicillin, AstraZenicha, Pfizer type of products. These are not products of corporations, these are individuals working for public organisations or have worked decades at th epublic organisations.
More than likely what looks like a corporation product was actually invented at a university and bought by a corporation to explot the people.
I should have added that coca cola became a world brand becasue it was using real coke and adicted the people before they were made to withdraw the coke from the reciepe.
Nescafe is the biggest tax evader on earth and exploiter of farmers worldwide. You want coffee you need to drink Kopi Luwak - now there's some coffee to be enjoyed.
Gucci is for ladies and feminine type what you would call not alpha male
Perrier - piss water
Kellogs and Oatmeal - whats wrong with a bit of Bulgur from the night before or better still a bowl of trahana. Prefer these any day.
