While this control is usually attributed to campaign donations and lobbying, \u003cem\u003eLevers of Power\u003c\/em\u003e argues that corporate power derives from control over the economic resources on which daily life depends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGovernment officials must constantly strive to keep capitalists happy, lest they go on “capital strike”—that is, refuse to invest in particular industries or locations, or move their holdings to other countries—and therefore impose material hardship on specific groups or the economy as a whole. For this reason, even politicians who are not dependent on corporations for their electoral success must fend off the interruption of corporate investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLevers of Power\u003c\/em\u003e documents the pervasive power of corporations and other institutions with decision-making control over large pools of capital, particularly the Pentagon. It also shows that the most successful reform movements in recent US history—for workers’ rights, for civil rights, and against imperialist wars—succeeded by directly targeting the corporations and other institutional adversaries that initiated and benefitted from oppressive policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough most of today’s social movements focus on elections and politicians, movements of the 99% are most effective when they inflict direct costs on corporations and their allied institutions. This strategy is also more conducive to building a revolutionary mass movement that can replace current institutions with democratic alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849488978156,"sku":"9781788730969","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23838733482824.jpg?v=1759046935"},{"product_id":"genuine-pizza-by-michael-schwartz-9781419734397","title":"Genuine Pizza","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his acclaimed career, chef Michael Schwartz has been celebrated for his skilled use of quality ingredients, and with his pizzas, this talent is on full display. \u003cem\u003eGenuine Pizza\u003c\/em\u003e is Schwartz's vibrantly illustrated guidebook for creating unforgettable pies at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis cookbook makes the pizza process approachable and fun, giving the reader the tools they need to make better pizza and then run with them.
