Gangs of America

The Rise of Corporate Power and the Disabling of Democracy

Ted Nace

298 pages, parution le 31/08/2005

Résumé

Through a series of fascinating stories populated by colorful personalities, Gangs of America details the rise of corporate power in America. Driven to answer the central question of how corporations got more rights than people, Ted Nace delves deep into the origins of this institution that has become a hallmark of the modern age. Beginning with its origins in medieval Great Britain, Nace examines the events that shaped the evolution of the corporation and the fascinating characters that played major roles. In a distinctive personal voice, Gangs of America synthesizes the latest research with a compelling historical narrative to tell the rich tale of the rise of corporate power in America.
