"The People's Business is about what ordinary citizens can do to curtail corporate power. The authors consider a wide spectrum of approaches - from fundamental shifts in how corporations are created and operate, to minor adjustments in corporate governance and regulatory fixes that directly address specific harms. While the approaches are diverse, they share a fundamental view of democracy as the antidote to corporate power - that the people, through the mechanisms of democratic self-governance, should decide the ground-rules by which the economy operates."--Jacket.
