Transnational corporations are, in some instances, bigger and more powerful than nations. Free trade agreements have enhanced corporate power while undermining the ability of workers to defend their jobs. However, all over the world people are organising and resisting. The shape and contours of that struggle will determine the global economy in the 21st century.
Kevin Danaher is co-founder and public education director of Global Exchange, the San Francisco-based non-profit organisation that led the campaign that exposed Nike's use of sweatshop labor and promotes grassroots, citizen-oriented efforts in international trade. He is the author of Corporations Are Gonna Get Your Mama, 50 Years Is Enough, Globalise This! and Democratising the Global Economy.
