Reviews

Bobo (finance, Loyola Marymount U.) feels strongly that income inequality between rich and poor nations and the deep poverty of the Third World can be effectively addressed by the multinational corporation. He presents 14 previously published essays that address the matter from a variety of angles, discussing such matters as MNC-host country relationships in Africa, the possibilities of MNCS putting aside exploitative practices in recognition that poor countries may otherwise unite against them, the attitudes of policymakers in poor countries and in MNCs, the lessons from conflict and conflict resolution models, expanding the corporate model of wealth maximization to include Third World stakeholders, and the issue of a new pedagogy in support of such a model. * Reference & Research Book News *
