The head of NATO addressed the Davos meeting and told the tycoons that "free trade" had to be limited to protect national security.

The examples he cited have to do with military security, and I agree with him on those issues. But there are other principles that likewise ought to outweigh letting businesses do as they like. For instance,

making it too easy for businesses to merge leads to price gouging and shortages.

Letting businesses have as much political power as they now do leads to starvation, homelessness, and untreated injury and illness for those who can't work.

Making it too easy for businesses resist unions leads to those same problems for employed people.
