A wild and mostly poor take. I understand the guidelines requiring more substantive posts, but I believe the overwhelming examples of detrimental companies are self evident.
Except directly stealing - wealth is created.
For example — even if all the profits from oil on earth goes to few pockets it is still benefitial for the world.
Because those pockets still gonna spend those money one way or another and contribute to economy growth eventually.
This is how Russia was flourishing on 2000s - oil profits mostly wen to putin's gang, but ordinary people quality of life still grew substantially.
Another one is weapons selling companies.
But even then a strong case can be made that without those companies people would still satisfy the demand via black market causing same harm bit without money benefits to society.
So still it is better with companies than without.
Something so vague as “making world better/worse” can be “self evident“ only for ignorant and arrogant, or brainwashed people.
Anyway, give us please couple examples of detremential companies and also a source of authority to judge “objectively”, to have a meaningful debate.
