Bakan, Joel.
The corporation : the pathological pursuit of profit and power / Joel Bakan. - London :. Constable, 2004. - 228 p. : ; 22 cm.
Includes index. Bibliography : p. [201]-213.
1. The Corporation's Rise to Dominance -- 2. Business as Usual -- 3. The Externalizing Machine -- 4. Democracy Ltd. -- 5. Corporations Unlimited -- 6. Reckoning.
Based upon a rigorous account of the corporation's legally-constructed nature, it is a sober and careful attempt ot describe the world as it is, rather than as corporate public relations departments would have us believe it to be. Although a billion dollar industry is trying to convince you otherwise, the corporations that surround us are not our friends. Charming and plausible though they are, they can only ever see us as resources to be used. This is the real world, not science fiction, and it really is us or them.
