At a time when boardrooms wielded more power than ballot boxes, Corporate Power in America stands as a landmark indictment of unchecked corporate influence over American democracy, public policy, and everyday life. Edited by consumer rights titan Ralph Nader and attorney Mark J. Green, this essential anthology assembles some of the sharpest legal, political, and economic minds of the era to argue that the modern corporation had evolved from a commercial entity into a dominant political force — one largely unaccountable to the citizens it affected most. The volume presents a rigorous and unflinching examination of corporate accountability, antitrust law, shareholder rights, and the manipulation of government regulation, chronicling the mechanisms by which big business consolidates power at the expense of the public interest. Written in the tradition of American progressive muckraking, each contributor brings both scholarly authority and moral urgency to their analysis, making the collection as readable as it is revelatory. Decades after its publication, its central question — who truly governs America? — remains as provocative and unanswered as ever.
