A lot of companies are global.

The American multinational companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization.

These were big ones. Those companies would then go in and build an electrical system or ports or highways, and these would basically serve just a few of the very wealthiest families in those countries.

It is usually people in the money business, finance, and international trade that are really rich.

Frankly, I don't know how many companies there are, globally, which are truly global.

Governments have been ceding power to big multinational corporations in the market. We see the manifest in a variety of ways. Where governments are giving up power to big international institutions like the World Trade Organization or NAFTA, which are disabling governments' ability to protect the rights of their own people.

I like multinational companies. They may have 40 to 60 percent of their engines of growth in the United States, but I do like the diversification of being more global.

Transnational, gigantic industrial companies no longer operate within political systems, but rather above them.

Egypt is a large, complex, very important country.

More than half the world's largest 100 economies are corporations. They have no loyalties to place or citizens.
