>Focus on the Corporation scrutinizes the multinational corporation -- the
>most powerful institution of our time. Once a week, it reports and
>comments critically on corporate actions, plans, abuses and trends.
>Written with a sharp edge and occasional irreverence, Focus on the
>Corporation covers:
>
>* Globalization and corporate power;
>
>* The double standards which excuse corporations for behavior (e.g.,
>causing injury, accepting welfare) widely considered criminal or shameful
>when done by individuals;
>
>* Trends in corporate economic blackmail, political influence and
>workplace organization;
>
>* Industry-wide efforts to escape regulation, silence critics, employ new
>technologies or consolidate business among a few companies;
>
>* Specific, extreme examples of corporate abuses: destruction of
>communities, trampling of democracy, poisoning of air and water; and
>
>* The corporatization of our culture.
>
>You can check out back columns, and information about Mokhiber and
>Weissman's book, Corporate Predators: The Hunt for MegaProfits and the
>Attack on Democracy, at <http://www.corporatepredators.org>. To go
