Milo's Global Syndicate

Milo Minderbinder expands his mess-hall syndicate into a global cartel, M & M Enterprises. He trades in everything from eggs to Egyptian cotton, making deals with both the Allies and the Germans. He becomes mayor of Palermo, Vice-Shah of Oran, and Assistant Governor-General of Malta. His syndicate is a parody of capitalism, showing how profit can transcend national loyalties and even justify bombing one's own side. Milo's success is a testament to the power of amoral entrepreneurship in a world at war.
