The book explores the historical implications of the Supreme Court's rulings in the nineteenth century, particularly regarding the Fourteenth Amendment and its unintended consequences for democracy. Thom Hartmann reveals how the designation of corporations as "persons" has shifted rights away from individuals, especially freed slaves, toward corporate interests. He examines the erosion of legal frameworks that once held corporations accountable and offers contemporary examples and legal remedies aimed at restoring democratic control over corporate power and addressing current crises.
