Don't understand the point. One slides into another. Cooperation is
soft conspiracy that's likely out in the open, conspiracy organized
cooperation that's somewhat behind the scenes. There's not much
difference in principle, and how much you'll find of each depends on
cir***stances. Neither is crazier than the other.
Look: it's commonplace that those of a common trade like to get
together if they can to arrange things to make their lives easier.
Adam Smith said as much. So did the men who drafted the Sherman
Antitrust Act. They even talked about conspiracies in restraint of
trade. Were they all crackpots?
Running big countries is a trade. Ditto for running global business.
Why wouldn't people in those trades get together to arrange things to
suit themselves? And if they notoriously get together, at Davos or
wherever, to discuss common concerns why shouldn't the rest of us take
an interest and get a bit suspicious about what's going on? That's the
way we'd feel if it were shoe manufacturers.

They take the point of view of those in a particular trade. If you
think the trade they're in has the same interests as the rest of us,
for example if you think it would be good to have lots of global
administrators running things in the way that makes sense to them,
then you won't worry. If you have doubts about that way of doing
things you'll have some questions.
