He was paid to make this video by the World Economic Forum, the world's most powerful corporate lobby group, using their terminology like "Stakeholder Capitalism" and "Shareholder Capitalism" to obfuscate the reality of the situation. He paints neoliberal economics as largely beneficial, then suggests giving corporations even more power as the 'solution' to any flaws that it may have. All of this is BS and here I explain why, with evidence.
