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.
