In a revelatory work praised as āexcellent and timelyā (New York Times Book Review, front page), Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight, once again makes sense of our fraught constitutional history in this incisive portrait of how American businesses seized political power, won āequal rights,ā and transformed the Constitution to serve big business.
Uncovering the deep roots of Citizens United, he repositions that controversial 2010 Supreme Court decision as the capstone of a centuries-old battle for corporate personhood. āTackling a topic that ought to be at the heart of political debateā (Economist), Winkler surveys more than four hundred years of diverse casesāand the contributions of such legendary legal figures as Daniel Webster, Roger Taney, Lewis Powell, and even Thurgood Marshallāto reveal that āthe history of corporate rights is replete with ironiesā (Wall Street Journal). We the Corporations is an uncompromising work of history to be read for years to come.
