Transnational corporations are taking over the world. From Monsanto to Rio
Tinto, Shell to Philip Morris—they dwarf governments. In Big Business,
Poor Peoples, British development journalist John Madeley cuts through the
corporate credo to discover unpleasant truths about the world they are creating.
Light on original research, this book is still a fine overview. Of course, a big
publisher should pay Madeley to write the major work his knowledge and moral
passion demands. But they too are transnationals now. Published by Zed Books,
£14.95, ISBN 1856496724.
