Unequal ProtectionReadHowYouWant.com, 2011 - 680 pages Unequal Protection details the deeply destructive results. Corporations now enjoy extraordinary priveleges that make them virtually independent kingdoms. This new feudalism is not what our founders intended. Hartmann proposes specific legal remedies that could truly save the world from political, economic, and ecological disaster. It's time for we, the people to take back our lives. With huge corporations now benefiting from massive taxpayer-funded bailouts, Hartmann's hard-hitting critique of corporate personhood is more timely than ever. This new edition has been thoroughly updated and features Hartmann's analysis of two recent critical Supreme Court corporate speech cases. |
