>>Focus on the Corporation scrutinizes the multinational corporation -- the
>>most powerful institution of our time. Once a week, it reports and
>>comments critically on corporate actions, plans, abuses and trends.
>>Written with a sharp edge and occasional irreverence, Focus on the
>>Corporation covers:
>>
>>* The double standards which excuse corporations for behavior (e.g.,
>>causing injury, accepting welfare) widely considered criminal or shameful
>>when done by individuals;
>>
>>* Globalization and corporate power;
>>
>>* Trends in corporate economic blackmail, political influence and
>>workplace organization;
>>
>>* Industry-wide efforts to escape regulation, silence critics, employ new
>>technologies or consolidate business among a few companies;
>>
>>* Specific, extreme examples of corporate abuses: destruction of
>>communities, trampling of democracy, poisoning of air and water; and
>>
>>* The corporatization of our culture.
>>
>>You can check out back columns, and information about Mokhiber and
>>Weissman's book, Corporate Predators: The Hunt for MegaProfits and the
>>Attack on Democracy, at <http://www.corporatepredators.org>.
