Crimes of the Powerful and the Contemporary Condition: The Democratic Republic of Capitalism


Add your own review!

Overview

This accessible book provides a comprehensive understanding of elite corporate wrongdoing, holding each crumbling pillar of society to account, and considers both how we got into this mess and how we get out of it. The ultimate expression of power is the ability to act beyond the confines of law, with contemporary society enabling elite groups to wield 'panoramic power'. From the murderous crimes of the corporate giants that provide us with life's luxuries and necessities to the nefarious nature of knowledge harnessed by both media and educational institutions, the authors offer new thinking on damaging structures of power and privilege.
