Global Spin: The Corporate Assault on Environmentalism is a book by Professor Sharon Beder. It was first published in 1997 and there have been subsequent updated editions in 2000 and 2002. The book provides both a broad overview and detailed case studies of how large corporations attempt to control and manipulate environmental issues. In the first edition most of the material was from the United States, where the corporate impact on the environment and environmentalists has been greatest, but there was also material from Australia and the rest of the developed world. The revised editions include three new chapters two of which contain much more Australian material.

You couldn’t kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder; assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“What Soft—Cherubic Creatures—
These Gentlewomen are—
One would as soon assault a Plush—
Or violate a Star—”
