	ITT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ITT, originally International Telephone and Telegraph, was a large conglomerate that owned a variety of businesses during the 1960s under Harold Geneen.
		Like many conglomerates, ITT was forced to sell off the majority of its holdings in the 1970s, and became a shell of its 1960s glory.
		Several former ITT subsidiaries are still very active including, one which is a major defense contractor, although it has shed a number of its own internal businesses.

	The Sovereign State of ITT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sovereign State of ITT (1973) by Anthony Sampson, uses the example of ITT (International Telephone and Telegraph) to make a broader point about the weakening of the authority of traditional national governments by the multinational corporations.
		In part it was a portrait of Harold S. Geneen, the chief executive of ITT from 1959 until 1977.
		Geneen was a legendarily hands-on manager, who believed it necessary to penetrate through layers of "false facts" to get to the "unshakeable facts" about any of the markets or divisions of his conglomerate.

		ITT and ABC had to apply to the Federal Communications Commission for permission to transfer the broadcast licenses held by ABC.

		In ITT's case this was not helped by the public anger due to its influence in elections in the United States and abroad, particularly in the early 1970s.
		On September 28th, 1973, ITT headquarters in New York City was bombed in protest of ITT's involvement with the September 11 Coup in Chile which saw the overthrow of the democratically elected government headed by Salvador Allende by a military junta led by General Augusto Pinochet.
		Geneen's ITT was nevertheless one of the longer lived conglomorates, while the likes of Ling-Temco-Vought and Litton were in serious financial difficulties by the early 1970s and had rid themselves of their CEO's, Geneen managed ITT until 1977.

		Faced with these privated interests the state tended in its policy to abstract the `general interest,' so as to continue to accommodate them.[2] This tendency to abstraction provided an `aperture' for relatively autonomous action of the citizenry.
		This aperture was the basis of the `liberal state,' that state which was understood to intervene selectively and only occasionally in civil society.
		Just as the state is the creature of the people, both the citizen and the business corporation are creatures of the state -- the former through the conferring of citizenship, the latter through charter.

		Specifically, I.T.T. purchase of a substantial interest in Focke-Wolfe meant, as Anthony Sampson has pointed out, that I.T.T. was producing German planes used to kill Americans and their allies — and it made excellent profits out of the enterprise.

		As the decades wore on, ITT's Puerto Rico operation was run into the ground by the corporation's refusal to reinvest in its infrastructrure.
		ITT, of course, didn't do such a thing, so by 1974 its Puerto Rico grid was worse than useless.
		In order to survive in an increasingly competitive and globalized market, private corporations have to cut their costs to the bone, which means that most of the revenues previously earmarked for public infrastructure are instead funneled into the CEO's salary and to shareholders.

	The Sovereign State and Its Competitors by Hendrik Spruyt, New, Used Books, Cheap Prices, ISBN 0691033560
		Examining the competing institutions that arose during the decline of feudalism--among them urban leagues, independent communes, city states, and sovereign monarchies--Spruyt disposes of the familiar claim that the superior size and war-making ability of the sovereign nation-state made it the natural successor to the feudal system.
		Instead, individuals created a variety of institutional forms, such as the sovereign, territorial state in France, the Hanseatic League, and the Italian city-states, in reaction to a dramatic change in the medieval economic environment.
		Sovereign authority proved to be more successful in organizing domestic society and structuring external affairs.

		The effort was successful, according to the authors, who state that the "vast bulk of the wealth of the Nazi empire" which "disappeared before the end of World War II" reappeared "within a decade in the hands of the same men who financed Hitler's war against the Jews.
		It was Harry Rositze who best described the attitude of the United States military-intelligence establishment after the end of World War II: "Any bastard as long as he was anti-Communist." Rositze, the "former head of secret operations inside the USSR" for the CIA, was correct.
		It is clear that, even before the break-in at the Democratic Party Headquarters on June 17, 1972, the Republicans were on the brink of having their pro-Nazi activities over the past four decades become a matter of mass-media attention.

	Sampson,A. The Sovereign State of ITT. 1974
		"The Sovereign State of ITT" (i.e., International Telephone and Telegraph) uncovers the history of a multinational that long ago became an autonomous pirate state.
		In the 1970s, ITT became famous, briefly, for bribing Nixon aides to back off an antitrust action, and to intervene to protect ITT interests in Allende's Chile.
		The son of a research scientist, Oxford-educated journalist Anthony Sampson writes elegant and exhaustively-researched books about powerful and often secretive elite groups: South Africa's white leadership, Britain's ossified elites, a multinational pirate corporation, the world oil industry, the international arms trade, international bankers.

	Transnational Corporations and the International Economic Order: Reflections on the Bishops' Pastoral Letter
		Analytically, a `community' is a social entity which holds interests in common, has a `general interest.' Since the early modern era, the nation state purported to represent the `general interest,' an interest which was understood as accommodating the private interests of the citizens.
		Faced with these privated interests the state tended in its policy to abstract the `general interest,' so as to continue to accommodate them.
		Seemingly there is no issue of foreign affairs which cannot be perverted by reference to the `threat' of `international communism.' At once, communism is represented as hopelessly anachronistic, hence unworthy of support, and also as dangerously threatening, hence worthy of opposition.
