and to externalize
any cost

:18:04
that this unwary
or uncaring public

:18:06
will allow it
to eternalize.

:18:20
To determine the kind
of personality

:18:21
that drives the corporation
:18:22
to behave like
an externalizing machine

:18:25
we can analyze it
:18:26
like a psychiatrist
would a patient.

:18:30
We can even formulate
a diagnosis

:18:32
on the basis of typical
case histories of harm

:18:34
that is inflicted
on others

:18:37
selected from a universe
of corporate activity.

:18:55
Well this is the office
:18:57
of the national
labour committee

:18:59
here in the garment area
of New York City.

:19:02
It's a little
bit dishevelled.

:19:06
These are all from
different campaigns.

:19:09
To make this stuff
concrete as possible

:19:13
we purchased all of
the products from the factories

:19:16
that we're talking about.
:19:17
This shirt sells
for $ 14.99.

:19:21
And the women who made
this shirt got paid $ 0.03.

:19:25
Liz Claiborne jackets
made in El Salvador

:19:28
The jackets are $ 178
:19:30
and the workers were
paid $ 0.74

:19:32
for every jacket they made.
:19:34
Alpine car stereos
$ 0.31 an hour.

:19:37
It's not just sneakers.
:19:38
It's not just apparel.
:19:39
It's everything.
:19:44
We were in Honduras
:19:47
and some workers they knew
what kind of work we did

:19:50
and they approached
us and said

:19:52
conditions in our
factory are horrible.

:19:55
Will you please
meet with us.

:19:56
And we said we would.
:19:57
But you cant meet in
the developing world
