Unequal Protection by Thom Hartmann
How Corporations Became 'People' — And How You Can Fight Back
This book argues that over the past two centuries legal doctrines and political maneuvering have steadily expanded corporate rights and power, treating corporations as persons while eroding citizens’ rights, public accountability, and democratic control; it traces how courts, legislation, and corporate influence have hollowed out protections for workers, consumers, and the environment, concentrated wealth and political power, and offers a call for structural reforms—such as curbing corporate personhood, reforming campaign finance, and restoring democratic oversight—to reclaim human rights and rebuild a more equitable public sphere.
