Corporate capitalists present themselves as the healers of the world’s
ills. But as they expand across the globe, they concentrate ever more wealth
into a small number of hands. Driven by the sole purpose of maximising profits,
other concerns are ignored and the planet is “held hostage to the tyranny of the
bottom line”. In The Corporate Planet: Ecology and Politics in the Age of
Globalization by Joshua Karliner, you’ll find a frightening analysis of the
reality of corporate greed. Published by the Sierra Club, San Fransisco,
$16, ISBN 0871564343.
