Corporate Europe: How Big Business Sets Policies on Food, Climate and War

摘要

'The fight against corporate power', David Cronin rightly asserts, 'is a key moral issue for the twenty-first century' (p. 157). In Corporate Europe: How Big Business Sets Policies on Food, Climate and War, Cronin focuses on one battleground, the European Union, in which the corporate class warriors seem to be winning. Adopting the language of the Occupy movement, Cronin asserts that there are 60,000 individuals in Europe and the USA who are regarded as 'ultra-high net worth individuals': 'the 1 %' who promote a neo-liberalist ideology at the expense of 'the rest of us' (p. 2).
