Protest Inc.: The Corporatization of Activism
"A gloomy, gripping, book, full of disheartening statistics. The essential message of the book is pretty clear - 'the rich are winning'."The Ecologist"A tremendous book - hard-hitting, passionate, and beautifully written - that deserves to be read by everyone who is interested in social change. The authors investigate how corporate values and behaviors are weakening the impact of global citizen action. We must heed their call."Michael Edwards, Demos, New York, and editor ofTransformation"This original and compelling book provides a much needed wake-up call about the creeping de-radicalizing influence of big business on activism in the contemporary world."Michael Maniates, Professor of Social Sciences, Yale-NUS, Singapore"Speaking the truth to power risks leaving you with the truth and them with the power. Much as the corporate model of organizing production affects and infects so much else in modern society, this fine analysis shows how it has done the same to many of its social critics."Richard Wolff, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts
