Beschreibung
"A must-read for anyone wanting to understand the truth about corporate-created untruths, this engaging, painstakingly researched, and elegantly written book is crucial for helping us see through profit-driven narratives designed with the explicit aim of distorting and deceiving. Industrial-Strength Denial reveals the cynicism, manipulation, and hypocrisy of corporations seeking to rationalize patently destructive (though profitable) practices, such as slavery or selling toxic chemicals, tobacco, and fossil fuels."--Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power "How much easier it would be to change the world if it weren't for the endless, organized lying of companies that make their money from the indefensible. This is such a useful chronicle for anyone trying to understand the shape of our world."--Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? "This book's originality is in Freese's use of psychological theory and insights to explain corporate behavior that seems simply venal or self-serving."--Gerald Markowitz, Distinguished Professor of History, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Graduate Center, City University of New York
