Corporate Power and Ownership in Contemporary Capitalism

The Politics of Resistance and Domination

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Despite the influence corporations wield over all aspects of everyday life, there has been a remarkable absence of critical inquiry into the social constitution of this power. This book reconnects the social constitution of corporate power and changing forms of shareholder activism.

---

This book examines neoliberal corporate power within the context of the American political economy and its relationship to emerging market economies in order to understand the global dimensions of the corporate-financial binary.
