Canada

Under the guidance of Canadian financiers, the Caribbean islands became jurisdictions of banking and tax leniency in the last half of the twentieth century. Now government policy to increase the international "competitiveness" of Canadian companies encourages multinationals to relocate to Canada as if it were Barbados or Belize. This book examines the implications of this development.

Alain Deneault writes about international financial and legal agreements and the ways in which they favor multinational corporations over nation states and human communities.
