When Corporations Rule the World explains how economic globalization
has concentrated the power to govern in global corporations and
financial markets and detached them from accountability to the human
interest. It documents the devastating human and environmental
consequences of the successful efforts of these corporations to
reconstruct values and institutions everywhere on the planet to serve
their own narrow ends. It also reveals why and how millions of people
are acting to reclaim their political and economic power from these
elitist forces and presents a policy agenda for restoring democracy and
rooting economic power in people and communities.
This new edition is expanded with new information, including a new
preface, a new introduction, a new chapter on The Global Democracy
Movement, and a new epilogue.
