The World Economic Crisis and Transnational Corporations | ||

Although the world economic crisis has slowed the flow of global investments and production, transnational capitalism has become more centralized through greater monopolization. We can trace this development in the auto industry with an examination of state intervention, transnational alliances and global competition. Far from developing a nation-centric recovery plan, the Obama bail-out deepens the auto industry's global character. This example shows how the transnational capitalist class works through the State to strengthen its dominant position over national capital. | ||
