In \u003ci\u003eCorporation Nation \u003c\/i\u003eDerber addresses the unchecked power of today's corporations to shape the way we work, earn, buy, sell, and think--the very way we live. Huge, far-reaching mergers are now commonplace, downsizing is rampant, and our lines of communication, news and entertainment media, jobs, and savings are increasingly controlled by a handful of global--and unaccountable--conglomerates. We are, in effect, losing our financial and emotional security, depending more than ever on the whim of these corporations. But it doesn't have to be this way, as this book makes clear. Just as the original Populist movement of the nineteenth century helped dethrone the robber barons, Derber contends that a new, positive populism can help the U.S. workforce regain its self-control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on core sociological concepts and demonstrating the power of the sociological imagination, he calls for revisions in our corporate system, changes designed to keep corporations healthy while also making them answerable to the people. From rewriting corporate charters to altering consumer habits, Derber offers new aims for businesses and empowering strategies by which we all can make a difference.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Derber\u003c\/b\u003e, professor of sociology at Boston College and noted social critic, is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wilding of America.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 10, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755303076128,"sku":"9780312254612","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/dd03407275980d1e88870329c60a032a.webp?v=1780054928","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/corporation-nation-how-corporations-are-taking-over-our-lives-and-what-we-can-do-about-it-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
