Wealth by Stealth Corporate Crime, Corporate Law, and the Perversion of Democracy

"The corporation is the favourite shield of the rich and powerful. Protected by law, captains of industry routinely get away with behaviour that would land ordinary citizens in jail. How has this come to pass? In Wealth by Stealth Harry Glasbeek explains how, veiled by law and hidden behind invisible friends, owners and investors pursue their agendas at our expense. From ExxonMobil to Nestle, from Westray to Hoffman-La Roche, Glasbeek demonstrates how corporations disregard society's rules and norms, undermining democratic practices and deepening inequalities."Glasbeek, Harry J. is the author of 'Wealth by Stealth Corporate Crime, Corporate Law, and the Perversion of Democracy', published 2003 under ISBN 9781896357416 and ISBN 1896357415.
