CorpOrNation - The Story of Citizens
and Corporations in Ohio
CorpOrNation exposes the historic corporate rise to power
in Ohio, the barriers citizens have fought to create a true democracy
for themselves, and detailed assessments of government influence
by corporations through "corporate globalization." Spanning
Ohio’s history from 1803 through present-day struggles between
citizens and corporations, CorpOrNation suggests strategies
for citizens to overcome current threats to citizen-led democracy
and the corporate takeover of society.
Rich with analysis and history, CorpOrNation, produced
by the Northeast Ohio American Friends Service Committee, features
interviews with people from the AFL-CIO, Ohio Public Interest Research
Group, United Steelworkers, Ohio Family Farm Coalition, Farm Labor
Organizing Committee, Program on Corporations Law and Democracy,
and student activists discussing corporate farms, factory lockouts,
“veggie libel” laws, and regional “free trade”
agreements.
CorpOrNation is based on Citizens
over Corporations: A Brief History of Democracy in Ohio and Challenges
to Freedom in the Future, 96 page, Second Edition/Third
Printing 2003 - detailing the legal and political history of corporations
and citizen control and resistance to corporate power in Ohio.
