Corporate maleficence

Just watched a show about the collapse of the "sang pon" (spelling is way off) shopping center in Korea. I am not sure what year it happened, but it was fairly recent, 90's or sooner. The day before it collapsed a building inspector, wisely, deemed the building structurally unsound and should be evacuated. The owners covered it up with spackle and then moved out, only closing one floor of a five story structure. 501 people died in the collapse. Many things were done wrong in the building. It is hard to imagine such arrogance. Though, recently in Japan there was a huge scandal about false earthquake safety data for maybe hundreds of apartment buldings that put thousands in danger to preserve profits. The owners got jail, as did many involved in the building/approval process. But, the damage was done and many people suffered. Everyday companies commit atrocities, largely environmental, and think nothing of it. How did the development of our, the West/capitalism, economic system lead to this? Oh wait, that what is largely designed for, as these costs are superluous to the equations of profit. But this system was not predetermined. I am not arguing for Communism. No no, innumerable atrocities have been committed in the name of Communism, or ideology in general.

When will our global system become humanistic, or more ecologically focused? By that I mean when will it care about the system it resides in and not just about what can be produced by exploiting what exists here and now.
