Transnational corporations touch our lives in a multitude of ways.
They make most of the clothes we wear, the food we eat, and the household products we use. It's easy to be lulled into thinking that these products have no history. What we see, of course, is only the visible end result of complex global production networks often involving workers in several countries. In this special Report, Doug Henwood, the editor of Left Business Observer, makes intelligible the complex world of finance capital. Duke University professor Gary Gereffi maps out how global corporations are structured, how they operate, and how Latin America fits into the picture.
