false 433932 2 Corporations rule the world, claims Thom Hartmann, and they are despoiling it for profit. He traces the historical friction between individual rights and the corporation, culminating in a landmark 1886 court case that altered the course of constitutional protection forever. Since then, corporations have steadily acquired power, enrolled the average citizen in a new kind of servitude, shifted an unfair share of the tax burden, taken control of the media, and co-opted the regulatory process for their own purposes. Hartmann cites examples of the absurd and frightening power: sterile streams and undrinkable water, poisonous neighborhoods, a government's willingness to drill for oil in untouched Alaskan wilderness when saving 2 miles per gallon per car would produce more oil in 2 years than in all of Alaska. To end the abuses, Hartmann calls for a grassroots revolution. He says it's time to understand the true costs of our consumerist society, take back the government, and shift to a values-based economy. 1601768 2002 Unequal Protection: The Rise of Corporate Dominance and the Theft of Human Rights total:54|5:23|4:23|3:8|2:0|1:0| 54 231 133 12 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sat Apr 19 12:31:46 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 12:33:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 07 07:01:04 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 21:45:56 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 07:23:42 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 07:25:09 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 14 05:54:01 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 15:24:35 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 05:54:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 19 12:17:38 -0800 2007 Wed Apr 16 07:35:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Mar 18 13:21:28 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 18 13:26:58 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Sep 08 13:13:10 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 13:14:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Feb 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 06 19:56:09 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 06 19:58:47 -0800 2008 5 0 true false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Sep 02 00:13:43 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 00:15:16 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Jun 06 23:31:46 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 06 23:32:11 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Oct 20 14:41:52 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 20 14:42:06 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Wed Jun 04 09:53:13 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 09:53:36 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 11:14:28 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 11:14:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 15:15:06 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 15:15:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 09:36:34 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 09:36:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 25 21:53:46 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 21:53:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 11:30:37 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 11:30:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 17:35:39 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 17:35:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 12:45:56 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 12:45:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 19 08:35:32 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 08:35:32 -0700 2009
