Beg pardon - it's 8 out of 10, not 4. According to Paul Kingsnorth in 1999:

"Eight of the ten biggest economies on Earth are now not nation states but corporations - accountable to nobody but their shareholders for what they do to people and the planet. The drive to expand the global market into all corners of the Earth is accelerating, regardless of the consequences - further widening the gap between rich and poor, and deliberately destroying self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyles in the drive to make a consumer out of everybody of Earth."
