Against corporate power
JAN WOOLF joins forces with artists and activists who seek to understand and resist corporate capital

Silent Coup; How Corporations Overthrew Democracy
Claire Provost and Matt Kennard, Bloomsbury, £15
CORPORATION: dictionary definition: noun; a large company or group of companies authorised to act as a single entity and recognised as such in law.
Provost and Kennard’s take is to ask: by whose authority?
Silent Coup is investigative journalism at its best, charting the rise of corporate power after World War II, where the freedoms fought for were redefined. The freedom to exploit a country’s workers and resources was robust. Freedom from hunger, homelessness and poverty, not so much.
