Here's an illustrated, entertaining road map for navigating through their hypocrisy and deception \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFrom praising the health benefits of cigarettes to moralizing on the character-building qualities of child labor, rich corporate overlords have gone to astonishing, often morally indefensible lengths to defend their profits. Since the dawn of capitalism, they've told the same lies over and over to explain why their bottom line is always more important than the greater good: You say you want to raise the federal minimum wage? Why, you'll only make things worse for the very people you want to help! Should we hold polluters accountable for the toxins they're dumping in our air and water? No, the free market will save us! Can we raise taxes on the rich to pay for universal healthcare? Of course not--that will kill jobs! Affordable childcare? Socialism! It's always the same tired threats and finger-pointing, in a concentrated campaign to keep wealth and power in the hands of the wealthy and powerful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCorporate Bullsh*t\u003c\/em\u003e will help you identify this pernicious propaganda for the wealthiest 1 percent, and teach you how to fight back. Structured around some of the most egregious statements ever made by the rich and powerful, the book identifies six categories of falsehoods that repeatedly thwart progress on issues including civil rights, wealth inequality, climate change, voting rights, gun responsibility, and more. With amazing illustrations and a sharp sense of humor, \u003cem\u003eCorporate Bullsh*t\u003c\/em\u003e teaches readers how to never get conned, bamboozled, or ripped off ever again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Hanauer \u003c\/b\u003eis an entrepreneur and a venture capitalist, the founder of the public policy incubator Civic Ventures, and the host of the podcast \u003ci\u003ePitchfork Economics\u003c\/i\u003e.
