[okfn-br] [OKFN-Local-Coord] Governments supportive of public registries of beneficial ownership?

Informação interessante para reforçar a importância desse assunto:

"We see the same democratic deficit in corporations. The majority of the
world's biggest economic entities are now
corporations<http://dstevenwhite.com/2011/08/14/the-top-175-global-economic-entities-2010/>,
not countries. They are run by CEOs who are unelected and unaccountable to
any citizens; they are responsible only to their shareholders, and their
mandate is to turn as much profit as possible at whatever cost to human
life or the planet.

These corporations often have more power than the governments of the
countries in which they operate. One reason for this is that the WTO and
most FTAs enforce "investor-state dispute agreements" that allow
corporations to sue local governments for legislation that compromises
their profits, like minimum wage laws or pollution laws."

>From *The truth about extreme global
inequality<http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2013/04/201349124135226392.html>
*, by Jason Hickel.

I recommend to see this video also Global Wealth
Inequality<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWSxzjyMNpU>.
 "The richest 300 people in the world are more wealthy than the poorest 3
billion combined, and every year rich countries take over 10 times more
money from poor countries than they give in aid."
