Title | Amanda Ciafone. Counter-Cola: A Multinational History of the Global Corporation. [Book review] |
Authors | Pizzolato, N. |
Abstract | Through the in-depth study of a single organization, the Coca-Cola Company, Amanda Ciafone uncovers and explains some fundamental dynamics in the evolution of capitalism in the last hundred years. Less in the business of producing drinks than in the one of orchestrating the franchising of bottling production across the world, the Coca-Cola Company exemplifies, writes Ciafone, key characteristics that we have learned to identify with contemporary global capitalism, such as the commodification of culture, the financialization of the portfolio of activities, and the commercialization of knowledge. |
