Many of these multinationals interact with schools, governments, and other institutions in ways that foster the human capital and institutions that help increase U.S. productivity.”

14 Benefits The host country brings more capitol to the country “The worldwide operations of U.S. multinationals are highly concentrated in America in their U.S. parents, not abroad in their foreign affiliates.” International engagement drives the overall strength of a nations economy Success as a nation depends on how competitive that country’s businesses are globally.

15 Costs The host county looses revenue to other countries through foreign taxes. For this reason, further globalization means that wealth will be more spread out among countries as they pay foreign taxes The host country looses some control over these business making it more likely that they could become a monopoly
