Reviews

Kneen has published a detailed study of of the gargantuan Cargill corporation... This is a book for activists. Kneen has crawled into the belly of the beast, as it were, and (in very readable prose) had described what he saw there... Kneen's Invisible Giant details the ethos, priorities, strategies and goals of transnational corporations as seen in a single paradigmatic example... His work is the more amazing given Cargill's general secrecy. People who are concerned about the influence of corporations on civic institutions, on economic security, on the well-being of the environment, and who are interested in working to change that influence could hardly find a better primer on corporate thinking and conduct than this book' The Boycott Quarterly (US)

'If you want to understand both the theory and the reality of modern economics, Kneen's impressively researched book is a fascinating place to start' -- Red Pepper
