ZimZalabim discovered 35 months ago- [from the page] What is being called "globalization" nowadays is not globalization at all. It's corporate hegemony, multinational corporations saying that their interests should prevail above all national interests, above all ecological interests, and above all human interests. They may clothe their demands in idealistic, almost sentimental declarations about wanting to raise living standards around the world, but when asked to conform to simple principles of decency (such as paying living wages, meeting minimum health and safety standards, or not trashing the environment) they respond that their only responsibility is to their shareholders. Despite their noble-sounding proclamations, they are quite content to hurt anyone and anything in the pursuit of profits.

From the page: "What is being called "globalization" nowadays is not globalization at all. It's corporate hegemony, multinational corporations saying that their interests should prevail above all national interests, above all ecological interests, and above all human interests.

They claim (correctly) that the governments of Third World countries want them to invest, but what does that really mean? It may mean that these governments are under such a debt burden that only hosting foreign-owned manufacturing plants will allow them to meet the IMF's quotas for increasing exports. It may mean that the more corrupt governments are looking forward to all the juicy bribes and kickbacks that a wily official can squeeze out of a wealthy corporation."
