Description: Invisible Giant by Brewster Kneen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Breaks the silence on the true extent of Cargills power and influence worldwide Publisher Description Transnational corporations straddle the globe, largeley unseen by the public. Cargill, with its headquarters in the US, is the largest private corporation in North America, and possibly the world. Cargill trades in food commodities and produces a great many of them: grains, flour, malt, corn, cotton, salt, vegetable oils, fruit juices, animal feeds and meat. Among its most profitable activities is its trade in the global financial markets. There are few national economies unaffected by Cargills activities, and few eaters in the north whose food does not pass through Cargills hands at some point. Yet Cargill remains largely invisible to most people and accountable to no one outside the company. This is the second edition of an explosive book that breaks the silence on the true extent of Cargills power and influence worldwide - its ability to shape national policies, and the implications of these strategies for all of us. Thoroughly revised and updated, Kneens new book offers shocking new evidence of Cargills activities since the book was first published in 1995.He examines how it has succeeded in eliminating competition by undertaking joint ventures with virtually all of its supposed competitors. He shows how this massive corporation continues to acquire and divest, extending its grip even further in what amounts to almost total control of the global food system. Author Biography Brewster Kneen is Canadas foremost analyst and critic of agribusiness. He has written several books on different aspects of food and its production including Invisible Giant: Cargill and Its Transnational Strategies (Pluto, 2002) and also publishes a monthly newsletter, The Rams Horn.
