Multinational corporations say they create jobs, advance economic development and improve living standards in the countries where they operate. Don't believe it. For every job they create, there are several that they destroy. They spend millions on their PR, but spare the extra cent for the workers. When selling their goods on the world market, corporations are interested in ensuring that wages in the countries where they set up production remain extremely low. They object to social support for the population, protest against attempts to limit their right to pollute the environment. The book provides a list of corporations that have particularly distinguished themselves in violating human rights, exploiting workers and deceiving consumers.
