Publisher's Synopsis
Economic policy is based on the dictum: take from the needy, and give to the greedy. The captains of industry of today make the robber barons of the 19th century look like underachievers. The gap between CEO and worker salaries has never been sharper. One union leader put it this way, "Workers are getting the absolute crap kicked out of them." Here Chomsky sets the record straight. Using clarity and humor he guides us through the seedy underbelly of corporate boardrooms and their anti-democratic doings.
