Editorial Reviews

The modern corporation is the institution of modern society, and modern society is increasingly coming to resemble the social structure of the corporation. So argues the author (labor studies, emeritus, SUNY), who offers a critique of the post-industrial order and the illusions it fosters. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
