- Multinationals -Global Economy & Population Displacement
Hello everyone. I'm looking for information and examples (A website would be nice) of extensive population displacements caused by macro-economic projects such as those sponsered by the World Bank or other large multi-nationals. For example: a large dam in India is said to have displaced 300,000 families from a valley. ADM, Cargill, and others have displaced about 1,000,000 peasants from their subsistance farms through their large export oriented agri-business practices. These sorts of practices have resulted in huge labor pools where other corporations (such as Nike) can exploit these people's new found need to survive. Please reply if you know of resources or other examples dealing with this subject. Thanks. None.
