This talk will consider the rise and development of multinational enterprise (MNE) from the beginning of the twentieth century. Whilst the chronological focus will be on the 1930s, issues confronting the contemporary world will also be discussed. In some cases, such as taxation, the history of the relationship between the nation state and MNE reveals that interests do not always coincide; in other cases, such as trading with potential enemy powers, interests may conflict, with grave consequences.
