The Multinationals
Anbieter: Crappy Old Books, Barry, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Multinationals (1981) by Christopher Tugendhat Pelican Books | ISBN: 0140216952 Condition: Good As sold by Crappy Old Books There are books that explain the modern world by means of grand theories, dramatic slogans, and a great deal of rhetorical steam. Then there are books like The Multinationals , which take one of the central forces shaping late twentieth-century life?large corporations operating across borders?and examine it with the cool, slightly formidable air of someone determined to understand how the machine actually works. A very Pelican sort of virtue. Christopher Tugendhat?s subject is the multinational corporation, that curious modern creature capable of being at once efficient, baffling, powerful, and faintly sinister depending on one?s point of view. By 1981 these entities were already becoming impossible to ignore: sprawling commercial empires extending their reach across countries, labour markets, governments, supply chains, and daily life, often while maintaining the outward appearance of merely selling ordinary things in a brisk and organised manner. Tugendhat steps in to ask what these organisations are, how they function, and what their rise means for politics, economics, and society. One of the pleasures of a book like this is that it captures a moment when the global corporate world was still being analysed in terms that now feel both historical and unnervingly current. The names may have changed, the technologies may have become shinier, and the jargon may have acquired more PowerPoint, but the essential questions remain much the same. Who really holds power in a world of giant companies? What happens when capital is more mobile than governments? How do states, workers, and citizens negotiate with entities that seem to belong everywhere and nowhere at once? In other words, the usual cheerful bedtime matters. The title itself is splendidly direct. The Multinationals does not waste time trying to seduce the casual browser with fake drama or promises of transformation. It announces, in firm Pelican style, that this is the subject and you may now sit down and think about it properly. There is something almost heroic about such publishing confidence. One misses it. Modern equivalents would probably be called Global Titans: How Hidden Corporate Networks Rewired Your World and come with a silhouette of a skyscraper at sunset. Yet despite the dry title, the topic is hardly lifeless. Multinational corporations are among the great protagonists of the modern age: shaping trade, employment, regulation, resources, and politics while insisting they are merely pursuing efficiencies and shareholder value. Books like this reveal the drama concealed beneath the managerial language. Behind every merger, overseas operation, and tax structure lies a struggle over power, wealth, sovereignty, and control. It is all rather gripping once one notices. Published as a Pelican Book in 1981, this volume belongs to that excellent old tradition of serious paperback non-fiction intended for the intelligent general reader. Pelican specialised in making complicated subjects feel both accessible and important without insulting the audience?s brain. The result is often a kind of durable clarity that ages surprisingly well. One reads such books not just for information, but for the pleasure of seeing a large subject explained by someone who assumes you can keep up. There is, naturally, a certain irony in reading a forty-year-old analysis of multinational corporations in an age when those same forces have become even larger, more digitised, and in some cases less visible. What may once have seemed a timely study now reads partly as history and partly as prologue. The world Tugendhat examined did not go away. It simply put on better branding and acquired cloud infrastructure. This copy is in good condition , showing the expected signs of age and reading but remaining sound, presentable, and entirely ready for another round of thoughtful consultation. It is exactly the sort of book that suits a second-hand life: solid, useful, and still more relevant than one might expect. An excellent choice for readers of economics, business history, political economy, and serious twentieth-century non-fiction. The Multinationals offers a sharp and intelligent look at one of the defining structures of modern life, and does so with all the brisk authority of a period when paperback books still expected readers to enjoy having their minds properly engaged.
