The UN plenary chamber, seen from the very back. At the dias stands an ogrish caricature of a capitalist, chomping a cigar and wearing a top hat. The capitalist stands behind a control box and is yanking on a lever in the form of a gilded dollar-sign. Between a white-gloved finger and thumb he dangles the UN logo that normally sits on the wall behind him.Image:

End of the line for corporate sovereignty
I use this ogrish rich-guy-in-a-top-hat image all the time to represent the thuggish application of wealth; he comes from a *delightful* Soviet editorial cartoon called "Capital Controls the Government":

1. The UN plenary chamber, seen from the very back. At the dias stands an ogrish caricature of a capitalist, chomping a cigar and wearing a top hat. The capitalist stands behind a control box and is yanking on a lever in the form of a gilded dollar-sign.
