Review: Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy – Claire Provost
and Matt Kennard (Bloomsbury)
The past 40 years have seen massive expansion of the dominance of large
corporations in the global economy. A wave of neoliberal reforms spread
internationally from the 1980s with the promise that deregulated markets would
unleash the animal spirits of private enterprise, bringing a new era of growth
and prosperity.
Corporations were touted as the heroes of the neoliberal dream, casting off the
shackles of staid state bureaucracy as they leapt forward into a future where
there was no alternative to unfettered global capitalism.
So what happened?"
