From New York Times bestselling authors Richard Belzer and David
Wayne comes a hard look at the wrongs done to us all by big
business in America. Here is an explosive account of wrongful acts
perpetrated, and the ensuing cover-ups inflicted upon us, by
American corporations. The bestselling author team of Richard
Belzer and David Wayne exposes the ways that the capitalist regime
has got us under their thumbs-from the mainstream media and its
control over us, to the trillions stolen by big banks and mortgage
companies during the mortgage crisis, to the scams perpetrated by
Big Oil and Big Pharma. The one common victim of all that
corruption is the American public, and Corporate Conspiracies wants
to do something about it. Corporate Conspiracies takes dead aim at
those who take advantage of us little guys. Probably most
disturbing is the book's examination of politics and capitalism
teaming up against us-how politicians and lobbyists all have their
hands in each other's pockets while stabbing us in the back, and
how the well-established energy lobby-including petroleum, natural
gas, and coal-has played a dominant role in the shaping of US
foreign policy for decades. Did you know that companies at times
know that their products will kill people, but they do nothing,
because it is actually cheaper to compensate the victims than it is
to correct the problem? And did you know that the Pentagon is
sending $1.5 trillion of our tax dollars to their corporate buddies
for a new fighter jet that is already superfluous? This book is
guaranteed to make us all think twice about being enslaved and
cheated by corporate America. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our
Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for
readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third
Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination,
conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution,
gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West,
and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York
Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to
books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors
whose work might not otherwise find a home.
