multinational corporation, n.All

The Multinational corporation (n.) still ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠runs home to its own state for protection and innovation, so reports of the nation-state's death are premature.

Multinational corporation (n.) was ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the economic expression of America's postwar political framework, fed by Marshall Plan dollars under the umbrella of American power.

Multinational corporation (n.) leans ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠on its home state: in tough markets, as an executive put it, you need someone in your corner — paid for by the unwitting taxpayer.
