Leviathans: Multinational Corporations and the New Global History

Jr. Alfred D. Chandler

Bruce Mazlish

A ground-breaking 2005 exploration of multinational corporations that differs from other books on the subject by offering the reader a totally global perspective of multinationals without portraying them simply as economic entities. Written by experts on various aspects of the history, development, cultural and social implications of the multinational corporation, the book paints a compelling and coherent picture of the way these businesses affect almost all areas of our existence. As we might expect, the multinational company is shown to play a major role in the globalization that is reshaping so much of our lives.

"This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the origins and development of the multinational corporation. The volume is a classic collection of key articles on the changing nature and dynamics of MNE's in the global economy.
