Publisher's Synopsis
Fernando Pargas declares that America suffers from the corrupt alliance of business and politics. The money of the one and the power of the other make for an unstoppable force, he argues. Supporting that force, maintains Pargas, is their propaganda machine which convinces an uninformed and malleable public to follow them in what he calls hypnotic obedience. Stopping Big Business and Politics from Bleeding America: An Agenda for the New Generation covers topics that Pargas says are too often ignored or misunderstood by the general public. His chapter topics include the business of war, the oil monarchy, and the influence of lobbying. Pargas, a former executive for Time Warner, Inc., was a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce International Council in Washington. D.C.
