The Importance of Intra-Firm Trade

Gerald K. Helleiner

Chapter 1 in Intra-Firm Trade and the Developing Countries, 1981, pp 1-13 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The most striking fact about the evolution of post Second World War international trade is its phenomenal real rate of growth in developing as well as industrialised economies. Much of this rapid growth of international trade has been accomplished under the auspices and control of transnational corporations.’ These corporations have often been very large, active in many countries and in many branches of trade, moving their capital, technology and skill efficiently and flexibly about the globe.
