Multinational corporation. Secret biological research.

And we already see signs of organization going on here.

who rules the world, we decided to focus on transnational corporations, or TNCs, for short.

It's crazy.

These are companies that operate in more than one country, and we found 43,000.

They were working on truly global products, and companies like Microsoft, Google, AstraZeneca,

They're disappearing because some timber companies go in with clear cutting.

And let's face it, the contract from a major multinational brand to a supplier in India or China has much more persuasive value than the local labor law, the local environmental regulations, the local human rights standards.

It's not merchants and manufacturers in the United States and Europe.

Those supply chains I put up on the screen earlier, they're not there.

The problem is the lack of trust, the lack of confidence, the lack of partnership between NGOs, campaign groups, civil society organizations and multinational companies.

So what we've been able to do is we've been able to harness the power and the influence of the only truly transnational institution in the global supply chain, that of the multinational company, and get them to do the right thing, get them to use that power for good, to deliver the key public goods.

We cut customs duties, we reduced import duties, and we got all the multinationals coming in, with multinational budgets, who looked at per capita income and got very excited about the possibilities in India, and were looking for a vehicle to reach every Indian.

36 percent of the TNCs are in the core only, but they make up 95 percent of the total operating revenue of all TNCs.

And so we allowed multinationals into India.

This is an ad for MTN, which is a South African multinational active in about 25 countries, and when they came into Nigeria

They try and build it. They try and build pipelines it doesn't happen.

In the next step, we built the network around these companies, so we took all the TNCs' shareholders, and the shareholders' shareholders, etc., all the way upstream, and we did the same downstream, and ended up with a network containing 600,000 nodes and one million links.

Now what we actually computed in our study was the control over the TNCs' value.

So far, 630 installations happened in 23 states in six other countries.

Now, when you consider the fact that, historically, the R amp amp D center of a multinational company was always in the headquarters, or in the country of origin of that multinational company, to have 750 R amp amp D centers of multinational corporations in India is truly a remarkable figure.

The first type of invisible innovation out of India is what we call innovation for business customers, which is led by the multinational corporations, which have in the last two decades, there have been 750 R amp amp D centers set up in India by multinational companies employing more than 400,000 professionals.

The first is what we called sinking skill ladder, and now I'm going to go back to where I started my conversation with you, which was about the flight of jobs.

Now of course, this doesn't come naturally to multinational companies.

In fact, it attracted accolades from multinational organizations because of its economic growth.

The state is everywhere in China.

Helps bring it down.

Well, it turns out that the 737 top shareholders have the potential to collectively control 80 percent of the TNCs' value.

And that's what religions do.

To promote our international business alliances.

Overseas. so your bosses are foreign.

There are 146 top players in the core, and they together have the potential to collectively control 40 percent of the TNCs' value.

A Mexican.

These are massive machines.

What nationality has the majority in your camp?

We're better off without the TPP

Many people can say that they appreciate design.

Many of them didn't want to bribe.

Our chinese friends left town before I could tell them the deal was off.

The high degree of interconnectivity of the top players in the core could pose a significant systemic risk to the global economy.

I mean, it's leading firms many of them are still publicly owned.

And in the aftermath, also not the fall of the Iron Curtain.

In South Korea and Indonesia, women own nearly half a million firms.
