Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Crackdowns on local democracy are accelerating, as corporate and state interests continue efforts to repress social movements. In this well-timed book, Ben Price presciently reveals structures of power and law that facilitate blatant corporate supremacy in the United States.This book examines how antidemocratic forces in the U.S. have evolved through history to repress communities and destroy the environment.Ben Price reveals how corporate and state interests are systematically cracking down on social movements to insure corporate supremacy in the United States. Combining an illuminating analysis of history with his experience as a leader of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, he demonstrates how a legal paradigm that facilitated slavery and the fossil fuel economy remains an antidemocratic force in the country to this day.Price identifies key counterrevolutions in U.S. history that squelched the transformative potential of the Civil War and American Revolution, and traces the roots of colonial and imperial systems of control. He links them to modern "free trade" agreements and other structures used to supersede modern democracy.Crucially, Price shares insight into how social movements can plant seeds of a new legal system that makes the liberty, civil rights and dignity of humans and ecosystems its ultimate purpose. In fact, he introduces the reader to people who are doing just that. "Most Americans think of homeownership as the pathway to the middle class and the bedrock of American prosperity, but under the surface, the right to own private property is actually the system that most powerfully upholds inequality and an elite, untouchable upper class"-- Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. …
