Hostile Takeover

David Sirota explains his new book on the whole culture of corruption, corporate takeover of government, and incipient (or not-so-incipient) fascism. The book sounds good.

Through this system of legalized bribery, Big Money interests have literally taken over our democracy to the point where our government is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corporate America. They have used a complex matrix of lies, myths and half-truths to make us believe this isn't so - but as Hostile Takeover shows, it's all just a deliberate campaign to distract the public from what's really going on: namely, the auctioning off of public policy to the highest bidder.
