In a unique exploration of how corporations take on rights and identities of people, Hardack reveals corporate America’s quest to dominate every aspect of our culture. Making a seemingly complex topic accessible, the book recontextualizes the inordinate influence of corporations as a legal, political, psychological, and sociological phenomenon.
