This photo from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, provides evidence to the statement that “almost every building contains components of a globalised economy”, in the sense that there has been a transfer of machinery and technical expertise. In the foreground of the photo, there is ongoing construction, upon which looking closer you can find the “Bachy Soletanche” logo, a European engineering & construction company. Further, in the background, you can see the Petronas Twin Towers, in which construction involved the expertise of companies from Argentina, Japan, Korea and the US.
