Description

In this book the author argues that the modern corporation is the institution of modern society, and modern society is increasingly resembling the social structure of the corporation. Combining business history with political insight, he offers a critique of the post-industrial order and the illusions it fosters. The author warns against the formation of a "post-society industry" in which the corporate order replaces democratic institutions as the primary organizer of social and cultural life. - from Amzon
