Kindred Strangers
by David Vogel
Notwithstanding the myriad forms of government assistance to American business, the relationship of business to politics in the United States remains a highly antagonistic one, characterized by substantial mutual distrust. This adversarial relationship is both reflected and reinforced not only in American business ideology, but also in America's unique legalistic and confrontational style of regulation, the political strategies of the public interest movement, the American approach to American industrial policy, and the distinctive way Americans think about the subject of business ethics. This volume brings together more than two decades of scholarship on business and politics by one of the leading authorities on this subject. These essays also explore a number of critical contemporary issues, including the ongoing debate over the scope and extent of business power in America, the growth of shareholder protests and consumer boycotts, the changing politics of consumer and environmental regulation, and the emergence of both public and business interest in business ethics. In addition, they place the contemporary dynamics of American business-government relations in both an historical and comparative context. Finally these essays demonstrate the importance of integrating the study of business by political scientists with the study of politics by students of management.
When Corporations Rule the World
by David C. Korten
Growing Numbers of thoughtful business executives are joining social activists in a shared concern that the emerging global system of business has become a serious threat to long-term human interests. This controversial book goes beyond the prevailing conventional wisdom to address the often neglected issues of modern corporate power. In a well-reasoned, extensively researched analysis, David Korten exposes the harmful effects of economic globalization; sets out the underlying causes of today's social, economic, environmental, and political crises; and outlines a strategy for creating localized economics that empower people and communities within a system of global cooperation. In When Corporations Rule the World, Korten shows how the convergence of ideological, political, and technological forces is leading to an ever-greater concentration of economic and political power in a handful of corporations and financial institutions, separating their interests from the human interest, and leaving the market system blind to all but its own short term financial gains. Korten documents the devastating human and environmental consequences of the successful efforts of corporations to reconstruct values and institutions everywhere to serve narrow financial ends. He explains why human survival depends on a community-based, life-centered alternative beyond the outmoded strictures of communism and capitalism, and suggests specific steps to achieve it. Literate and authoritative, When Corporations Rule the World is insightful reading for business people, activists, and ordinary citizens who want to restore the balance of power in the world.

Bankers, Bagmen and Bandits: Business and Politics in the Age of Greed
Naylor, R. T
Black Rose Books, 1990. Soft Cover. Very Good. Type: Ex-Library Text in English (166 pages). Ex-library. Very good condition, tight binding, unmarked pages. With nice transparent cover. People are overwhelmed with information, yet remain misinformed about the major crises unfolding about us. The mass media tear news out of context and present it without analysis, reducing it to scrap paper and electronic chaff, while, in the face of issues that demand radical action, academic investigators all too often retreat into pontification and trivialization. This collection of writings dares to ask the questions that stir the debates: Is economic growth really dependent on ecology-devastating technologies? Is peace a wonderful thing only in theory? Is the world really under seige by greedy billionaire drug barons? Is Canada really the sunny kingdom that everyone seems to agree that it is? Bookshelf S-116. Keywords: Banks & Banking; Business & Economics; Business and politics; Canada; Corporations; General; International finance; Mass media; Non-Fiction; Political aspects; Political Science; Politics ( more information) Offered by Louis Morin (Canada)
