Paperback. Condizione: Good. "Gangs of America is a brilliant page-turner revealing how powerful, greedy corporations wage institutional terrorism."-John Stauber, coauthor of Toxic Sludge Is Good for You! The corporation has become the core institution of the modern world. Designed to seek profit and power, it has pursued both with endless tenacity, steadily bending the framework of law and even challenging the sovereign status of the state. Where did the corporation come from? How did it get so much power? What is its ultimate trajectory? After he sold his successful computer book publishing business to a large corporation, Ted Nace felt increasingly driven to find answers to these questions. In Gangs of America he details the rise of corporate power in America through a series of fascinating stories, each organized around a different facet of the central question: "How did corporations get more rights than people?" Beginning with the origin of the corporation in medieval Great Britain, Nace traces both the events that shaped the evolution of corporate power and the colorful personalities who played major roles. Gangs of America is a uniquely accessible synthesis of the latest scholarly research, a compelling historical narrative, and a distinctive personal voice.

Bagdikian, author of The New Media Monopoly "The essential guide to the history of the American corporation. Nace explodes the myth of inevitability surrounding the corporate takeover of our lives."-Maria Elena Martinez, Executive director, CorpWatch.…
