ABSTRACT
The movement of capital complements the trading of goods and services in international economic relations. Capital can be moved in two ways: by companies owning shares in companies in other countries (equity capital), or by corporations owning or controlling the management of business enterprises in other countries (direct investment).
“Capital is dead labour, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks”.
Karl marx Political Philosopher (1818–83)
