This report, originally published in 1996 and updated in 2002, shows how taxpayers' money is used to promote business on an ever larger-scale. Using many examples and statistics, it reveals how the global economy and its huge transnational corporations are being heavily subsidized at the expense of small, local producers. Although some of the details have changed, the underlying principles are more valid than ever.
