New Book: The People’s Business

Posted by on November 19, 2004

It is with great pride that Citizen Works announces the release of a brand-new book that gets right at the heart of fighting corporate dominance.

The People’s Business, which hits stores this week, examines the very nature of corporate power, presenting a range of strategies to curtail it, explaining how ordinary people can restore citizen control. Bringing together the recommendations of the Citizen Works Corporate Reform Commission ? a coalition of leading authors, activists, scholars, and professionals ? The People?s Business is a vital, clearheaded plan for strengthening individual rights, transforming corporations into engines of public prosperity, and creating a sustainable, life-respecting society where the people have the power.

After the election, it seems clearer than ever that in order to restore true citizen democracy in America we will need to challenge corporate power effectively and directly — to frame the debate around questions of economic justice and corporate accountability. The challenges are complex, but we believe that The People?s Business can help us begin to think big about the fundamental challenges that lie ahead.
