Download Captured: The Corporate Infiltration of American Democracy AudioBook Free
In Captured, US senator and former national prosecutor Sheldon Whitehouse provides an eye-opening take on what corporate impact looks like today from the Senate floor, adding a firsthand point of view to Jane Mayer's Deep Money. People in america know something is incorrect in their authorities. Senator Whitehouse combines background, legal scholarship or grant, and personal experiences to provide the first hands-on, complete reason of what's eliminated wrong, exposing multiple avenues by which our authorities has been infiltrated and handicapped by corporate capabilities. Captured reveals an original oversight by the founders and shows how and why corporate vitality has exploited that vulnerability: to reach dread in elected staff who don't "get right" by intimidating million-dollar "dark money" election attacks (a threat more effective and less expensive than the actual harm); to stack the judiciary - even the Supreme Judge - in "business-friendly" ways; to "capture" the administrative companies meant to regulate corporate behavior; to undermine the civil jury, the Constitution's previous bastion for typical citizens; and also to create a corporate "alternate certainty" on public health and basic safety issues like weather change. Captured implies that in this centuries-long have difficulty between corporate vitality and individual liberty, we can and must take our American authorities back into our own hands.
