Foreign investment: catalyst or conspiracy?

Abstract

Let me talk against the clock about the impact of foreign industrial corporations on your society. The question before us is whether foreign investment is a catalyst or a conspiracy. It is probably best thought of as both. What you have to do is to determine the balance. You have some choices to make. The first is whether to accept foreign investment at all. The choice is fundamentally yours, and the shortcomings of the multinationals do not absolve you from it. If they exploit you the fault is very largely yours certainly of your generation.
