It's not a huge leap from our current system when you think about it .
I think yes accountability and audits of governments would be a great leap forward, good point...

but i do not have a lot of faith in large global financial institutions or multi national companies to think too far ahead than how they will hike up their next bonus, do companies actually try and adhere to their commitments and agreements (the start of Bisons thread)?

the point I made about companies getting out of their signed workforce agreements by bringing in cheaper labour and undercutting existing legislation by looking for a cheaper alternative, whatever the social and economic impact on the local community?

It looks like some British have finally had enough and grown a back bone after a huge contract was offered to Italian workers and the British didn't even have the opportunity to apply. If you ask me, that is disgusting and Britain needs to do something like Emiratisation.
I loved the guy who said 'we can't work with these i-ties' - f me, he would be lost in Dubai
