Once they have a foot in the door, Western companies barge to exploit the demand they’ve created, further destabilizing local cultures. In Mexico, Walmart thought nothing of putting up a superstore virtually next door to ancient ruins-eradicating the nearby street market- and bribing officials to alter zoning laws and sidestep required archaeological surveys, thereby destroying ancient artifacts with bulldozers and backhoes. What’s more, MNEs tend to cluster in urban markets, dragging workers away from rural areas to work under managers who speak only English and don’t even allow time to go home for lunch.
