A major chapter in American history – rarely taught in our schools – is
how ever larger corporations have moved to game, neutralize and
undermine the people’s continual efforts to protect our touted
democratic society.
"The corporate state – the autocratic joining of business and government
– exerts its influence all the way down to the state and local levels,
not just in Washington. It works through boards of education and
trustees of colleges and universities, drawing heavily from the business
world and its professional servants in such disciplines as law,
accounting and engineering."(Photo: Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/MCT)
