Description: Microsoft. Chase/Chemical. Merck. Phillip Morris.... Corporations have more power in our lives today than any other force including the government. They decide what we do, eat, watch, read, and pay for health care -- and, ultimately, how we lose our jobs, our health care, our savings. And yet, unlike the government, corporations answer to no one.

America, Charles Derber charges, is in a new age of corporate ascendancy. Million-dollar CEOs make billion-dollar decisions with little concern for the people whose lives hang in the balance. But it doesn't have to be that way. In clear, straightforward language, Derber calls for changes in our corporate system -- changes designed to keep corporations healthy while making them accountable to the people. Grounded in history, yet looking toward the future, his analysis is fresh and electrifying.

To anyone who has ever been afraid of downsizing or disgusted by campaign finance corruption, this book offers constructive solutions -- and surprising hop.
