This guide explains the fundamentals of the modern corporation in an easy to understand format and answers some common questions. What does a CEO of a major firm actually do? Why do corporations have so much sway over government? Why do workers lose their jobs when a company is still making healthy profits? At a time when there is so much insecurity about the global economy and the future of the planet, many people are increasingly turning their attention towards the role that corporations have played in the current crises we face. This book presents the facts in an accessible manner, while also pointing towards some of the more hopeful developments emerging to counter corporate power.
