<i>'Start with a fact - large corporations wield enormous power in the contemporary, globalized economy. Then note the hopes and fears that this fact inspired - the potential to harness the profit motive to social needs, but the fear that the profit motive can just as easily wreak havoc. And finally, bring together some leading scholars from around the world to discuss the matter - and the result is a hugely impressive collection of essays on one of the burning issues of our time. This volume is definitive - the necessary starting point for future debate.'</i>
