"Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy" is a book by investigative journalists Claire Provost and Matt Kennard that examines the rise of global corporate power and its impact on democracy. The authors explore how multinational corporations exploit legal and welfare systems to maintain control and influence over societies. They discuss the use of international investment disputes to sue countries and lobby for deregulation, as well as the cooptation of NGOs by big business. The book also delves into the emergence of special economic zones and the complicity of multinational companies in coups and human rights violations. Overall, the book sheds light on the concentration of corporate power and its detrimental effects on democratic processes and global issues such as climate change. [Extracted from the article] |
