You
might think there is a variety of choice when you go shopping to a
supermarket, but you were wrong – there is only the illusion of choice
as shown by the graph underneath.
Did you know the Kit-Kat chocolate bar and L'Oreal shampoo are owned by one parent company — Nestle?
The ten largest multinational corporations own
almost everything people buy in supermarkets around the world. These
corporations create a chain of smaller brands that specialize in
different products, but at the end of the day customers' money still
goes to the top ten corporations.
The illusion of choice:
When activists decided to boycott Nestle over
the company's unethical business practices, did they also choose not to
wear clothes from Ralph Lauren,
Armani or Diesel and avoided using products from Biotherm, Vichy and
Garnier? All this makes it hard to boycott anything. The companies will
still get their share of money one way or another.
