Structured in three parts: Part 1] 'The multinational in historical perspective' - 'The pre-industrial era - the background to multinational enterprise' / 'The age of industrialisation and British capital exports, 1815-1914' / 'The new phase - tariffs, imperialism and post imperialism'; Part 2] Relates present day criticism of multinationals to the historical experience to comment that 'historically speaking they misrepresent the origins and purpose of multinationals'; Part 3] Draws heavily on the experience of Lever Brothers and Unilever
