Front Cover
Routledge, 1998 - Business & Economics - 192 pages
An exciting and original analysis of the development of capitalist classes, such as the Freemasons, that cross national boundaries in the global political economy. This innovative book focuses on:
* an historical perspective on class formation under capitalism and its transnational integration

The author develops a broad-ranging and thorough understanding of class in the process of globalization. He does so within several theoretical frameworks shedding much light on this important topic.
