Corporations Are Not People
Reclaiming Democracy from Big Money and Global Corporations
Summary:
The book critiques the influence of large corporations on American democracy, particularly in the wake of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which granted corporations the same free speech rights as individuals. It argues for a grassroots movement to amend the Constitution and restore democratic power to the people, away from the disproportionate sway of corporate and big money interests.
Key points:
1. Corporate Personhood: The book examines how corporations have legal rights similar to humans, affecting political spending and free speech, as seen in the Citizens United case.
