Blog #14

Bakan's book, The Corporation, is a very interesting book explaining how a Corporation works and its influence on America. According to Bakan, a Corporation is a legal "person", who is immortal and endowed with certain rights. This legal institution has become a being with immense power.

Bakan's rhetoric style enhanced the effectiveness of his book. He argues that the Corporation is a psychopath which needs to be stopped. How are the people of America going to stop the Corporate world when it has so much power over political issues and the overall economy?
