No One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart: The Surprising Deceptions of Individual Choice

Beschreibung

As corporations gain more and more power in political, social, and cultural worlds, the freedom to choose has taken on new meaning. Today, individual choice is the lynchpin of a neoconservative corporate ideology that is not inherently bad, but it is not the societal fix-all that corporations and governments claim.
