In these 70 essays, speeches, sermons and screeds, POCLADers probe: corporations as "legal persons"; corporate social responsibility as a ploy; strategies for amending state corporation codes and challenging judge-made laws; and much, much more.
This collection, which Howard Zinn calls "powerfully persuasive," chronicles POCLAD's evolution -- among the twelve POCLADers and with thousands of activists. Here are hidden histories, crisp analyses and thoughtful responses to corporate apologists -- all in one provocative book.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
