Prosperity in crisis

Abstract

The world economy is still in deep crisis: unemployment remains high, the undeclared trade war between the leading industrialized countries goes on and the debt of “third world” keeps rising, just to mention a few of the most serious problems. But some winners are already emerging from the crisis. Among them are the leading transnational corporations, which are assuming an unprecedented domination and control of the global market.

This issue of RMR looks at different aspects of this process by giving some examples of the strategies used by the TNCs and of their planning for the coming decade.
