A NEW DEPARTMENT
INDUSTRY & INFRASTRUCTURE
The operating companies of the physical economy — the utilities that light and water the world, the miners and metal-makers, the waste firms that keep its cities clean, and the builders of its roads, cables and great works. Who runs them, what they operate, and where they stand.
