Reviews

"The corporation, according to Joel Bakan, is the monster that can swallow civilization -- greedy, exploitive, and unstoppable. We are all its potential victims, which is why we must all understand how the corporate form makes it so difficult to control its abuses."

-- Alan M. Dershowitz, "Felix"

5.0 out of 5 based on 1 reviews. 5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 26/01/2006

This book will change the way you think about contemporary business. It compares the modern corporation to a socio-pathic entity - one that is fundamentally anti-human and anti-environmental. The realities it presents are harsh - but it is stuff we all need to know. The 'green' policies of companies like BP are exposed for what they are - hackneyed PR campaigns. This is a well-reasoned and calm book - backed with facts and in-depth interviews. There is also an absorbing documentary.
