Corporations dominate our worlds. They employ us, sell to us and
influence how we think and who we vote for. All aspects of this
relationship are explored, from an historical analysis of the
spread of capitalism to the regulation, ethics and exclusionary
implications of business in contemporary society. The book also
examines how corporate power and capitalism might be resisted and
outlines a range of alternatives, from the social economy through
to new forms of open access or commons ownership. This second
edition includes new chapters that explore how global crises such
as the Covid-19 pandemic and the climate emergency have exposed
tensions within and among national business systems. It also
addresses the need for new ways of holding business accountable in
the era of digital platforms like Facebook, Google and Amazon,
which use algorithmic personalization to exert private control over
the infrastructure of our societies.
