In this system, the corporation is created by law; the corporation is meant to hide, to distract so that flesh and blood capitalists can do what they like. When the workings of the corporation are examined, they reveal a betrayal of the very values and norms that, for their legitimacy's sake, capitalists in our parts of the world purport to share. This book sets out to highlight one of capitalism's potentially weak spots, namely, the perverting economic, political and ethical roles played by the prime instrument of private wealth accumulation; the legal corporation. Once the corporate mask is ripped-off, those who hide behind it become visible. Stripped of their protective garb, the few capitalists who own the means of production will be just as naked as the rest of us we are when we face their corporations. Class Privilege sets out to humanize capitalism and help citizens rid themselves of a seemingly inevitable system while helping activists identify their antagonists and troubleshoot viable solutions."--  |c Provided by publisher
