The Transnational Capitalist Class

Front Cover
Wiley, 2000 M12 19 - 348 pages
The Transnational Capitalist Class provides theoretically informed empirical research to explain the process of globalization from the viewpoint of the corporations themselves. Through personal interviews with executives and managers from over eighty Fortune Global 500 corporations, Sklair demonstrates how globalization works from the perspective of those who control and oppose the major globalizing corporations and their allies in government and the media. Sklair′s unique approach brings a fresh perspective to what has become a key debate of our time.
