Abstract

The relationship between the individual and global corporations is more complex than is sometimes realised. And, more specifically, the relationship between people, planet and corporations is even more complex. Many of us are affluent consumers (I am one) in the early twenty-first century, and this book is about the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the airlines we fly, the water we drink, who we bank with and the places we live. But in this world, after several thousand years of development, it is also true that 25 per cent of the population are seriously impoverished, and lack minimum provision of food, water, homes and livelihoods, and this in a globalised economy.
