John Harrington's recently published book The Challenge to Power examines the inextricable link between corporations and democracy and identifies a variety of strategies and tactics that can be used by progressives, organizations, and institutional investors to thwart corporate domination of the earth’s resources, decentralize our economy, restore democracy, tame corruption, and regain community control of our financial resources.
