Throughout the world, there has been a growing wave of interest in
global corporate power and the rise of a transnational capitalist
class, triggered by economic and political transformations that have
blurred national borders and disembedded corporate business from
national domiciles. Using social network analysis, William Carroll
maps the changing field of power generated by elite relations among
the world's largest corporations and related political organizations.
Carroll provides an in-depth analysis that spans the three decades of
the late 20th and early 21st century, when capitalist globalization
attained unprecedented momentum, propelled both by the
transnationalization of accumulation and by the political paradigm of
transnational neoliberalism. This has been an era in which national
governments have deregulated capital, international institutions such
as the World Trade Organization and the World Economic Forum have
gained prominence, and production and finance have become more fully
transnational, increasing the structural power of capital over
communities and workers. Within this context of transformation, the
book charts the making of a transnational capitalist class, reaching
beyond national forms of capitalist class organization into a global
field, but facing spirited opposition from below in an ongoing
struggle that is also a struggle over alternative global futures.
