Focusing on how cities have been torn down and remade based on the
needs of the automobile and wars are fought to keep fuel tanks
filled, this consideration looks closely at the country's obsession
with cars. The argument contends that the automobile's ascendance
is inextricably linked to several factors--from capitalism and
involved corporate malfeasance to political intrigue, backroom
payoffs, and media manipulation. The discussion also cites the
elements of racism, academic corruption, third world coups, secret
armies, environmental destruction, and even war, stating that when
the domination of cars is challenged, capitalism is as well.
Comparing studies in more than a dozen U.S. cities, this gritty,
anti-car, road-trip story provides a unique observation for all
those who wish to escape the clutches of auto insanity.
