A Short History of Corporatism —
05 Jun 2013 —
"Move To Amend" honcho David Cobb provides an excellent review of corporate rights throughout history—how they attained those rights, the nature of the men who helped them become powerful, and the impact that corporate power is having on our democratic republic and our sovereignty. Also discussed is the proposed 28th Amendment to the Constitution, which would abolish the idea that a corporation has constitutional rights and overturn the idea that money equals speech.

Joel Bakan, who is a lawyer and professor of constitutional and economic law; and Christopher Bayer, who is a psychologist best known as the "Wall Street Psychologist" because of his 30 years spent treating financial executives.
