Leslie Sklair(1) speaks of a "transnational capitalist class"
that has emerged and acts out an enormous influence on society. Far reaching
decisions and developments not only concerning global economy but influencing
social and even individual life are today developed and executed by leading
representatives of large corporations with or without the help of politicians.
Still, we are usually much more familiar with political representatives
than with their counterparts behind companies, economic interest groups
and lobbying agencies.By entering and infusing itself into this 'realm',
CEOs takes a closer look that is not deviated by marketing and PR strategies
but focuses on some of these individuals that Sklair would possibly define
as members of this newly developing transnational class. (1) Leslie Sklair, The Transnational Class, Blackwell Publishers 2001. |
