I like the idea, mind you, but the only way it'll work is if there's a world government that can enforce it and can't be dodged.
Capital mobility is a problem but I don't think its an insurmountable one. It will require that we are smarter about how trade deals are done with enforceable international standards for workers and environment. This requires labor to organize globally as well to neuter the advantages afforded to corporations by the ease of mobility of operations. Another way would be to undercut the labor prison model which has become no different than slavery.
Just my two cents.
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
