Worked over: The Corporate Sabotage of an American Community

Rating:
Summary: Excellent explanation of historic corporate take-overs!
Review: As a history major with little knowledge of legal and economic technicalities, I have long puzzled over how such devices as "trusts" allowed large corporations to greedily gobble up the fruits of the industrial revolution. Now I know! This book should be a "must read" for anyone who has difficulty believing that we have long had class warfare in America. Enron et al have had a long history of exploiting the labor of the people who work for them, as well as the interests of the public . This book tells the story of one of the first such successful corporate sabatoge efforts ... but, sadly, not the last! Very well documented AND very readable. (I could almost hear the theme from "Jaws" as I read.) Quite a scholarly feat!
