What They're Saying
Critics Review
“If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story.”
—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
“Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies.”
—Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
“Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel.”
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
