When Corporations Rule the World

A critical review of the globalisation of business and the influence of multinationals on society. Written primarily from a US perspective, the author describes the influence of multinationals on the US negotiations of international trade and investment rules, and makes proposals for a more penal tax treatment of those activities that he considers to be harmful to society, including speculation, advertising, short-term investment, and taxation of companies separate from their shareholders. Extensively annotated with a subject and author index.
