Shopping local is not just a tagline; it’s an important way to save
the economy. In Cornered, journalist Barry C. Lynn paints a genuinely
alarming picture: most of our public debates about globalization,
competitiveness, creative destruction, and risky finance are nothing more
than a cover for the widespread consolidation of power in nearly every
imaginable sector of the American economy. Cornered strips the camouflage
from the secret world of twenty-first-century monopolies, whose sheer size,
vast resources, and immense political power enable them to control virtually
every major industry in America in an increasingly authoritarian manner.
Lynn reveals how these massive juggernauts, which would have been illegal
just thirty years ago, came into being, how they have destroyed or devoured
their competition, and how they collude with one another to maintain their
power and create the illusion of open, competitive markets
