CORPORATE PREDATORS:
THE HUNT FOR MEGAPROFITS AND THE ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY
by Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman
Wealth disparity, megamergers and the resulting consolidation of corporate
power, commercialism run amok, rampant corporate crime, death without
justice, pollution, cancer and an unrelenting attack on democracy. In a
compilation of compelling snapshots from two of the leading reporters on
corporate power, Corporate Predators documents the price we pay for living
in a corporate-dominated society.

from Common Courage Press, 1-800-497-3207
"The incisive and sharply focused snapshots presented here give a telling
portrait of some of the most dangerous forces undermining what is decent
and hopeful in American and global society. A warning that should be taken
very seriously." -- Noam Chomsky
"Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman are veteran trackers of the corporate
beasts that pillage the globe. In Corporate Predators, they are on the tail
of GM, Exxon, Philip Morris and other snakes, showing how they prey on
workers, the environment and consumers." -- Jim Hightower
"Mokhiber and Weissman chronicle the immense power corporations have
acquired for themselves and the effect they have on our health, economy,
communities, environment and democracy. This book should serve as a call to
action for us to reclaim our democracy from the corporate predators." --
Lois Gibbs
"Go forward readers who wish to be leaders in the advancement of justice --
what Daniel Webster once called 'the great work of men on Earth' -- and
savor the writings that will motivate more and more women and men to band
together in organizations that build a more just democracy." -- from the
introduction by Ralph Nader
