Review of Continuum

The millennial development of mankind has brought great consequences, including both the accumulation and concentration of information, as knowledge of all knowledge in all fields. However, it is in the stage of capitalism, called globalization, especially from the nineties, that new technologies: computer science, robotics, computers, telecommunications, among many others, have a new wave of innovations without precedents that impact the world in all its dimensions.
One of the features, perhaps the most, important from the political, social, cultural and economic globalization are major private corporations: the megacorporations because of their power of concentration and accumulation of capital worldwide and represent oligarchies that hold a monopoly on weapons, commodity, market, technology, and even the political and ideological power.
These powerful companies are not only the natural result of the logic of capitalism, social Darwinism, where the "big fish eats the smaller, but the resulting mixture of all kinds of interests in relation to the capital for their control and domain.
This mix includes all interests both licit and illicit, because the maximum optimization of profit leads to the conclusion that it's all business, because everything is bought and sold everything. To everything there market: human organs, people, children, weapons (of any kind) and even democracy.
Then megacorporations are gigantic companies, in addition to concentrate capital built up networks of diverse groups from different countries with multiple twists, almost worldwide, resulting in a virtual powerhouse is as big business, especially the financial oligarchy, which is presented as a non-state, with many centers of power (polycentric), to the extent that the groups making up the network are located worldwide and his government is "invisible" hand of the market as .
It is public knowledge the power of some corporations to influence elections through infiltration of political organizations and campaign finance at all levels of government and all business partidos.Las Megacorporations are mixtures that diversify and distribute the production in different countries with a view to producing for the world market; coordinate a complex and dynamic network investments in the vanguard of all countries seek the cheapest labor, political and fiscal advantages, markets abundant supplies, the best way out for finished products and move through the world in search of "offshoring".
It also highlights the feature that a substantial part of world trade takes place within the same network of a few mega-corporations, among them branches and among other corporations of the same level.
The call Megacorporations technostructure operate invisibly cover where a pyramid structure which itself comprises other pyramids, that allows not only a horizontal dimension more direct control on three levels, but the ultimate control and filtering the last level down besides not being aware of the big decisions is incommunicado for the other members, both upwards and horizontally.
