«La armadura del capitalismo» is Alejandro Teitelbaum's essay on the power of transnational corporations, published by Icaria editorial in paperback (334 pages, in Spanish).
Teitelbaum analyses the role of large transnational corporations in today's society, from production and services to financial speculation, and argues that their pursuit of maximum profit places them in a grey area between legality and illegality. With historical and current data, he shows how these companies hollow out representative democracy and contribute to the political, economic, social, ecological and cultural crisis, subordinating the policies of states and international institutions to their strategies. The work invites reflection on how citizens can regain decision-making power in a democratic and participatory society.
The book belongs to the Antrazyt collection, in its Contemporary Analysis series, and is number 318 in the collection. Published in Barcelona in 2010, it is the first edition.
Recommended for readers interested in political economy, globalisation and critique of contemporary capitalism.
