    Featured Case:
    Firestone: Crises Across the Decades
        
    A PBS documentary uncovered documents revealing a 1991 deal in which Firestone agreed to pay Liberian warlord, Charles Taylor, $2.3 million in exchange for keeping its profitable Liberia rubber farm in operation during a bloody civil war. This case explores the social and economic implications of a multinational company operating in a politically unstable and economically undeveloped country.
