"Another development of unquestionably vital importance, which cuts across and embraces the present structure of international economic relations, and which in practice makes a mockery of international agreements, is the expansion of the great multinational corporations. The financial, commercial and technological potential concentrated in these is steadily increasing, and they are rapidly becoming the real power factor behind the current features of the world economy. They have their own objectives, their own trade policies, their shipping policies, their own investment policies, their own integration policies, their own outlook, their own lines of action. A world of their own."
