Description
The New Corporation: How "Good" Corporations Are Bad for Democracy by Joel Bakan. In this thought-provoking analysis, Joel Bakan examines the relationship between corporations and democracy. He argues that despite their efforts to present themselves as socially conscious entities, corporations remain primarily driven by profit. Through in-depth research and interviews with executives and critics alike, Bakan reveals how corporate interests are undermining individual liberty and the public good. Bakan's investigation highlights the consequences of unchecked corporate power, including income inequality, environmental degradation, and the erosion of democratic institutions. However, he also offers a message of hope, highlighting the ways in which ordinary citizens are fighting back against corporate dominance and working to create a more equitable and just society. By exploring the complex dynamics between corporations and democracy, Bakan provides a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the world we live in today.
