The past decade has seen nearly 1 million U.S. jobs shipped overseas. Meanwhile, the corporate share of taxes has plummeted, from paying 76 cents of every tax dollar collected in 1950 to 21 cents in 1992. Your Mama offers an incisive overview of how global companies, long plunderers of the Third World, are unleashing market forces like a pack of rabid dogs attacking the American way of life. The book you are holding explains why we should be mobilizing against corporate domination. It also documents some of the many ways in which people are organizing resistance and building alternative institutions.
Books can be either mere entertainment or useful tools in changing the world.
This effort was intended to be the latter, but whether it will play that role or not will be determined by what you do after you put this book down.
