"This is a pioneering and innovative study of an aspect of
globalization that is rarely treated in any systematic way. Through
a judicious mix of conceptual argument and empirical analysis,
Leslie Sklair's stimulating and highly readable book lays bare the
anatomy of the increasingly significant transnational capitalist
class. Highly recommended." Peter Dicken, University of
Manchester
"This book provides a stocktaking of the drivers of
globalization worldwide, emphasizing the coherence of the process
but also its contradictions, particularly those associated with
economic inequality and environmental stress." Journal of
Australian Political Economy
"The entire process of globalization is fraught with conflicts
and new alliances between groups, be they based in corporations,
government or social movements. In the end, Sklair does a superb
job of depicting which group is dominant in this process and how it
vigorously defends its interests from attacks against the
culture-ideology of consumerism." International
Sociology
"In making his case, Sklair takes a strong position to critique TNC and he pulls no punches. For this reason, he has given us a very important standpoint, along with abundant evidence to sustain his position. But whatever one's position, this book will have a major place in the academic debates." Lauren Langman, Loyola University of Chicago, Theory and Society 31, 2002<!--end-->
