Upside Down - Eduardo Galeano: Green, How I Love You

The most successful companies on earth have subsidiaries in both hell and paradise. The more sell the first, the better go the second. So the Devil pays and God providing forgiveness of sins.

In his latest book, The Corporate Plan, Joshua Karliner gives three illustrious examples of great teaching value:

four of the world’s most air polluting companies belong to the General Electric Group, which is also America’s largest manufacturer of air pollution control equipment;

The DuPont chemical company, one of the companies with the most hazardous industrial waste all over the world, has developed a lucrative service sector, specialized in the incineration and burial of hazardous industrial waste;

and another multinational, Westinghouse, which earns its bread by selling nuclear weapons, also sells expensive equipment to clean its own radioactive waste.
