The New Corporation: How “Good” Corporations Are Bad for Democracy

byJoel Bakan

A deeply informed and unflinching look at the way corporations have slyly rebranded themselves as socially conscious entities ready to tackle society’s problems, while CEO compensation soars, income inequality is at all-time highs, and democracy sits in a precarious situation. The New Corporation rests its case on biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. The New Corporation also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in biography & autobiography and business & economics.
