520			_a"Over the course of the Twentieth Century the world stumbled, haltingly and unevenly, toward greater democracy and humanity. New nations embraced democratic ideals, and governments in extant democracies expanded their domain over society and the economy. Social programmes and economic regulations were created as part of a broad midcentury movement by Western governments to protect their citizens from neglect by the market and from exploitation by corporations. Beginning in the latter part of the century, however, governments began to retreat. Under pressure from corporate lobbies and economic globalisation, they embraced policies informed by neoliberalism. Deregulation freed corporations from legal constraints, and privatisation empowered them to govern areas of society from which they had previously been excluded. By the end of the century, the corporation had become the world's dominant institution." (ECOLOGIST) The author exposes the underbelly of multinational corporations only to discover a world of corruption and greed.
