Customer Reviews

a must read

This is a fantastic book. Glasbeek has made a superb contribution to our understanding of the dangerous and pathological nature of corporations, and the threat they pose to democracy. And he manages to do this with wit, humour and panache. Read this book!

Detailed and Revealing

What a tour de force! Revealing and detailed, this resource is heavy duty stuff for anyone who wants to fully understand the history, background and foundation for those general feelings some of us have that there is a problem with the entity we call the corporation, and the legal basis for capitalist -- and democratic free market -- society. A vast wealth of information is offered as notes to the main text...a decent read quite apart from the book itself.
