Investment matters. The millions of dollars that are moved around the world every minute of day profoundly affect who gets to eat and who doesn’t; who has a job and who doesn’t; and who accumulates wealth and at whose expense. Influencing investment decisions requires an understanding of how investment works. Kavaljit Singh explains the central role of transnational corporations (TNCs) and other key players in determining investment patterns. He debunks some of the myths surrounding investment flows, and he suggests ways in which investment can be brought back under the democratic control of people and governments. Kavaljit Singh maps out investment flows, trends and regulatory frameworks and shows where citizens can work-and are working-to reclaim investment for the public good.
