Bakan presents a passionate argument backed by extensive research in this compelling call for parents to advocate for their children. Now available in paperback, this vital message has garnered praise from experts as “an essential read for anyone who works for or cares about children” and is described as “engaging, carefully researched, and important.” In this eye-opening exploration, Joel Bakan reveals how corporations exploit children’s vulnerabilities, manipulate parental fears, and disregard children’s health and well-being. He highlights the troubling reality that business interests have made it increasingly difficult to protect children. Corporations invest billions to undermine the ability of parents and governments to shield children from relentless commercial pressures. As a result, after a century of progress in protective laws and regulations, children now face significant risks from economic actors. The book asserts that this assault on childhood represents a major crisis of our time. It serves as a powerful manifesto for urgent change, empowering parents to protect their children while proposing concrete legal reforms to safeguard all children from predatory corporate practices.
