Over the past two generations, U.S. leaders deregulated big business on the faith that it would yield a better economy and a freer society. But the opposite happened. Americans lost stable, well-paying jobs, Wall Street dominated industry to the detriment of the middle class and local communities, and corporations began to subject us to total surveillance, even dictating what we are, and aren't, allowed to think. The corporate titans and mega-donors who aligned themselves with this vision knew exactly what they were getting: perfect conditions for what Sohrab Ahmari calls private tyranny. Drawing on original reporting and a growing chorus of experts who are sounding the alarm, Ahmari chronicles how private tyranny has eroded America's productive economy and the liberties we take for granted-from employment agreements that gag whistleblowers, to Big Finance's takeover of local fire departments, to the rigging of corporate bankruptcy to deny justice to workers and consumers-illuminating how these and other developments have left millions feeling that our livelihoods are insecure. And he shows how ordinary Americans can fight back, by restoring the economic democracy that empowered and uplifted millions of working-class people in the twentieth century. Provocative, original, and cutting across partisan lines, Tyranny, Inc. is a revelatory read on the most important political story of our time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Business and politics $z United States. $9 86496 650 0 $a Corporations $x Corrupt practices $z United States. $9 92898 650 0 $a Corporate power $z United States. $9 93937 650 0 $a Working class $z United States. $9 72008 650 0 $a Middle class $z United States. $9 85934 650 0 $a Social responsibility of business $z United States. $9 89168 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. $9 110716 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Ahmari, Sohrab. $t Tyranny, Inc. $b First edition. $d New York : Forum Books, 2023 $z 9780593443477 $w (DLC) 2023011960 941 $a 4 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716042159.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011200.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011233.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230718013207.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06D9DE1E253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
