With the appearance of Grunch of Giants, R. Buckminster Fuller consummates his canon, his panoramic lifetime survey of all aspects of the responsibility of human beings for their own destiny. Grunch of Giants portrays the rising multinational corporations in the paradoxical role of functioning both as the epitome of capitalistic selfishness and as the inadvertent vehicle for the dissolution of national political boundaries, the last deterrent to a one-world economy. The result is more subversive of the property and profit values of the capitalist system than anything dreamed of since Karl Marx.
