Invisible Giant: Cargill and its Transnational Strategies
Transnational corporations straddle the globe, largely unseen by the public.Invisible Giant review. Cargill, with its headquarters in the US, is the largest private corporation in North America, and possibly in the world. Cargill trades in food commodities and produces a great many of them: grains, flour, malt, corn, cotton, salt, vegetable oils, fruit juices, animal feeds, and meat. Among its most profitable activities is its trade in the global financial markets. There are few national economies unaffected by Cargill's activities, and few eaters in the North whose food does not pass through Cargill's hands at some pointRead full reviews of The Invisible Giant.

Review "An excellent book which draws readers into an Orwellian 1984 environment and leaves shivers. Don't read it alone." -- Republican News "Brewster Kneen's strong analysis of Cargill should be required reading for anyone interested in how we get our food." -- Catholic New Times "People who are concerned about the influence of corporations...could hardly find a better primer on corporate thinking and conduct..." -- The Boycott QuarterlyAbout the AuthorBrewster Kneen is Canada's foremost analyst and critic of agribusiness.

Young Zaya was very sad and lonely when her mother died, but she eventually found solace in the company of birds, who proved to be her only friends. When Zaya sees the form of the Giant-Plague, she immediately tries to warn the people of her city about what is coming, but almost everyone disregards her, believing her to be crazy. The only one who doesn't blow her off is a kind old man, Knoal, who believes Zaya and joins her cause of trying to warn others about the Giant. Zaya's birds help protect her and Knoal from the Giant, but as time goes on they discover that even they cannot remain safe

Invisible Giant Reviews
Cargill, with its headquarters in the US, is the largest private corporation in North America, and possibly in the world. Cargill trades in food commodities and produces a great many of them: grains, flour, malt, corn, cotton, salt, vegetable oils, fruit juices, animal feeds, and meat. Among its most profitable activities is its trade in the global financial markets. There are few national economies unaffected by Cargill's activities, and few eaters in the North whose food does not pass through Cargill's hands at some point. Yet Cargill remains largely invisible to most people and accountable to no one outside the company.
This is the second edition of an explosive book that breaks the silence on the true extent of Cargill's power and influence worldwide -- its ability to shape national policies, and the implications of these strategies for all of us. Thoroughly revised and updated, 'Invisible Giant' offers shocking new evidence of Cargill's activities since the book was first published in 1995. Kneen examines how it has succeeded in eliminating competition by undertaking joint ventures with virtually all of its supposed competitors. He shows how this massive corporation continues to acquire and divest, extending its grip even further in what amounts to almost total control of the global food system.
