Summary

"Over the past two generations, U.S. leaders deregulated big business on the faith that it would yield a better economy and a freer society. But the opposite happened. Americans lost stable, well-paying jobs, Wall Street dominated industry to the detriment of the middle class and local communities, and corporations began to subject us to total surveillance, even dictating what we are, and aren't, allowed to think. Sohrab Ahmari chronicles how private tyranny has eroded America's productive economy and the liberties we take for granted -- and he shows how ordinary Americans can fight back. Provocative, original, and cutting across partisan lines, Tyranny, Inc. is a revelatory read on the most important political story of our time"--, Provided by publisher
