The I hate corporate America reader
de Clint Willis
"Clint Willis, who brought us The I Hate Republicans Reader and We Are the People, now teams up with Nate Hardcastle to zero in on the companies that are stealing our democracy, destroying our environment, exporting our jobs, poisoning our food supply, and undermining our way of life. This guide offers a tour of the corporate world in all its outright ugliness. You think Exxon paid for the clean-up after the Valdez oil spill? Dream on. Think Wal-Mart's employees are all as happy as the beaming retirees in the television advertisements? Liza Featherstone offers a closer look at how the nation's largest private employer really treats its workers - many of whom earn so little that they qualify for public assistance." "Other contributors catch companies ranging from McDonald's to Halliburton as they engage in union-busting, war-profiteering, tax evasion, political corruption, and even plain old price-gouging. This book will make you angry enough to fight back. Better yet, it provides much of the intellectual ammunition you'll need to help win this century's most important political war - the war against runaway corporate power."--Jacket.
