This powerhouse of a concept contends that the corporation is created by law to function like a psychopathic personality, whose destructive behavior, if unchecked, leads to scandal and ruin. 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" |

 – 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.
