In a revelatory work praised as "excellent and timely" (New York
Times Book Review, front page), Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight,
once again makes sense of our fraught constitutional history in
this incisive portrait of how American businesses seized political
power, won "equal rights," and transformed the Constitution to
serve big business. Uncovering the deep roots of Citizens United,
he repositions that controversial 2010 Supreme Court decision as
the capstone of a centuries-old battle for corporate personhood.
"Tackling a topic that ought to be at the heart of political
debate" (Economist), Winkler surveys more than four hundred years
of diverse cases-and the contributions of such legendary legal
figures as Daniel Webster, Roger Taney, Lewis Powell, and even
Thurgood Marshall-to reveal that "the history of corporate rights
is replete with ironies" (Wall Street Journal). We the Corporations
is an uncompromising work of history to be read for years to come.
