Abstract
We already have a number of organizations that exist because they want to change society In many cases the political ways that they use are ineffective. This can easily be shown by the example given above. All political parties that I spoke with (I was in correspondence with the leader of each party or with a person appointed by the leader who worked particularly with business development and small-scale business) were supportive of the idea that we need more small businesses, and large amounts of money are invested each year in different measures to support the establishment of new business. These measures range from the financing of university research on small business, to the financial support of people who want to start new businesses and to regional support of small companies that are already established. Despite all this support, large companies constantly win a larger and larger share of markets, and small business is on the decline in many industries. And though there is constant criticism from authors who are successful in selling their books all over the world, and support for small business from political parties and other organizations, people buy more and more of the products of multinationals. Thus multinational companies grow at the expense of smaller firms.
