Global Dreams Imperial Corporations and the New World Order

Global Dreams

Imperial Corporations and the New World Order

By: Richard J. Barnet and John Cavanagh
480 pp.
Simon & Schuster 1994
Review by: Lydia Morris Brown

Global Dreams is an exploration of the many different ways in which the global economy changes politics, work, and families throughout the world. The authors reveal how a few hundred companies dominate global commercial activity, contributing to political and social disintegration, as they become the world empires of the 21st century. Barnet and Cavanagh paint an authoritative and penetrating portrait of global corporations as they have evolved over the past two decades - controlling the flow of money, goods, and information worldwide and dominating the fate of economies of people.
