Food Inc & Economic Hit Man

Food Inc issue can be compare to similar issues we have seen in Social Studies class. The food insdustry can nearly control the whole economic system of a country. Multinational companies are trying to enter different developing countries an take over national food industries. By this the multinational comoanies would have a higher income. Higher income also means more power.

The Food Inc issue is similar to the one seen in the video of the economic hitmen. In the Economic Hit Man these people try to take over the political system of a developing country by using a huge amount of money.
These would also lead to an increase of political and economic power.

This issues lead to an abuse of power coming from a multinational company or even an industrialized country.
