"There are six lies that corporations have told since time immemorial, and Nick
Hanauer, Joan Walsh and Donald Cohen’s new book Corporate Bullsht: Exposing

provides an essential taxonomy of this dirty six:

In his review for The American Prospect, David Dayen summarizes how these six
lies “offer a civic-minded, reasonable-sounding justification for positions
that in fact are motivated entirely by self-interest”:
