By Robert A. Brady

Book Overview

Business As A System Of Power is a book written by Robert A. Brady, which explores the complex relationship between business and power. The book argues that business is not simply an economic activity, but rather a system of power that operates within society. The author examines the ways in which businesses use their power to influence government policy, shape public opinion, and control the lives of workers. The book is divided into three main parts. In the first part, the author provides an overview of the concept of power and its relevance to business. He argues that businesses are not simply economic entities, but rather powerful institutions that shape society in profound ways. In the second part of the book, the author examines the ways in which businesses use their power to influence government policy. He provides numerous examples of how businesses have successfully lobbied for policies that benefit their interests, often at the expense of the general public. Finally, in the third part of the book, the author explores the impact of business power on workers. He argues that businesses have used their power to control the lives of workers, often through the use of exploitative labor practices. Overall, Business As A System Of Power is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think critically about the role of business in society. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which businesses use their power to shape society, and offers insights into how we can create a more equitable and just economic system.Business As A System Of Power Was The Direct Product Of Extensive And Continuing Study Of The Rise Of Bureaucratic Centralism.
