This study examines whether the positive association between national income inequality and transnational corporate penetration found previously by Bornschi cr and Chase-Dunn (1985) and others circa the late 1960s still holds for the mid-l980s. Both methodological and theoretical problems of earlier studies arc discussed and solutions arc offered. Economic development, political-institutional and regional variables arc also included in the analyses.
