Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:America has been run as a corporate regime for several years — a merger of big business and government that makes profits more important than human rights and erodes the democratic tradition. Costly wars abroad, a national debt that grows exponentially year after year, and the inability to deliver stable work and essential social services are undermining the legitimacy of the regime — opening the door to a new period of regime change. Today, new grass roots progressive movements are mobilizing, becoming a catalyst for change. In "Hidden Power, author Charles Derber shows how these movements can transform the political landscape, breaking the Democratic party out of its corporate shell and moving it toward a new unifying vision of how to create real democracy in a world run by big money. Book News Annotation:Professor and activist Derber (sociology, Boston College) calls upon
ordinary Americans to take their country back from its corporate
masters and stop the slide into fascism. He reveals how the current
regime has maintained power by intensifying the red/blue culture wars
and manipulating the electoral process and offers a prescription for
restoring genuine democracy. Web addresses for a selection of leading
progressive organizations are listed in the appendix.
