Thus began the financialization of global markets. In the 1980\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and 1990\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Bilateral Investment Treaties were put in place. Many of these agreements transferred rights from Sovereign Countries to multinational corporations.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1990\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s corporate consolidations began to dwindle our choices, though perception management tools hid this fact from the public.<\/p>\n<p>Today, 147 corporations control 40% of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wealth. Those corporations can utilize those trade agreements to override governments when they feel corporate profits have been negatively impacted by sovereign government laws or rulings.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, because of very little real competition in the global market place the income generated by these corporations is greater than many the GDP of many countries. Thus these multinational corporations may have more power than governments!<\/p>\n<p>How does this impact you? That is what we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be examining in this series<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slides and Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
